Thieves

Data theft on social media
Thief caught, confesses, apologises
Authorities pose questions, listen to answers
Q & A session ends, warned, asked to tighten lapses
Thief walks free like a king 

Theft in a social function
Thief caught, confesses, apologises
Authorities interrogate, pin him down with crime
Remand ends, cuffed, send him to jail 
Thief walks to prison cell like a criminal

High end thief is no thief
He is "framed and trapped" by others 
Bottom end thief is real thief
He is "pushed and punished" by own hunger 
One roams free, other groans in cell
