Anyone planning to steal won’t be affected by the added punishment. Making religion an issue in the case means that the religious nature of the crime needs to be proved to the jury, which is harder than proving the defendant is a mere thief and raises the chance that if the prosecutor messes up proving the “hate crime” part, the jury will reject the whole case.
