Can I add something to that?
First, with minimum mandatory sentences, particularly for the serious reoffenders of three or more times, it's pretty tough to steal cars when you're held in custody.
Second, just for the sake of information, we investigated and interviewed a professional car thief here in Canada, in Quebec. This individual was a pro and had been doing it for 30 years. He told us that he started when he was a youth, and because the justice system was so lenient and he hardly ever got any serious jail time and was making $300,000 a year, he decided to continue in this line of business and had done so for 30 years. So a strong deterrent such as a strong minimum mandatory for that type of criminal is really necessary in order to send a strong message out to them.
