So, they catch the guy, question him, let 'im go. Theft seems to be quite a profitable business these days, since it's little more than a slight inconvenience when one gets caught.

To be fair, what the article says is: "The man confessed to stealing the mail and was released after questioning". That doesn't imply that he won't be prosecuted. It merely means that they didn't find it necessary to lock him up before trial. Things may be different in the US, but in England, and (I imagine) also in Germany, it is common practice for suspects to be remanded (locked up) only if they are violent, likely to make a run for it, or likely to attempt to "influence" witnesses.

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.
To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.

In The States you're more likely to be locked away if your publicist thinks that it will help your book sales.
