I'll assume you're being serious with your comment. Shariah has conditions for when Hudud penalties are to be applied. Just because someone stole does not mean the harshest punishment automatically applies. There are factors such as adulthood, not being in a famine, the value stolen being over a certain amount (approx 1gm of gold), and so on. An investigation is conducted and the judge rules.
This is not to say that other punishments cannot apply for those other cases - there's something called Ta'zeer that can be applied. Of course we're not making small of the matter, theft is a very very serious crime, and we'd have a lot less of it if Hudud were applied ;)
Other than that I agree that Shariah would set today's world straight back in place.
