Thieves are despicable during the best of times but even more so during times of crisis. Give him 3 years in Angola for each generator stolen. That should give him time enough to consider the error of his ways. If he doesn't change his way of thinking and behaving, ia stiff sentence at least will keep him off the streets for 15+ years.
