It isn't supposed to make you feel anything. You can fear whatever you wish. The person who robs a convenience store or check cashing place is desperate and one should never underestimate what desperate people will do. They are not however acting on a desire to harm others. I think this point is worth noting. Perhaps you don't? The desperation for money could easily be alleviated with a good social safety net. Doug mentioned wanting a person to go to prison for stealing a car. I would never want another person to be incarcerated because of a property crime. Community service would seem a much more appropriate punishment and one that would be socially useful as well.
