Then you prosecute them, but you do not give them the same punishment as the murderers. The punishment should be severe enough to make them not do it again, or think very hard about doing it again, but not to severe to make them bitter or more determined to steal or worse. But if a choice between swiftly prosecuting a thief or having a large case about a murder, pick the murder trial every time. The goal is not to kill the thieves, merely to make them realize the error of their ways, and to be able to focus on the more important murderers.
