I don't think the people doing it really understand why they are doing it!

If there had been a media blackout (including online social) it wouldn't have spread outside of London, there is no reason for it. Just straight up crime by people who think they are untouchable. I think in the long run they will be proved wrong. For me a new set of trainers would never be worth the risk of 10 years in jail !!!
