Stealing Apples in 1918

From the September 5, 2018, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1918, 100 Years Ago.

"Boys, almost young men, were stealing apples on the north end of town last night.

"Residents watched them work in almost professional way with flashlights.  A look-out is being  kept for them  on their second visit."

I wonder what the punishment will be if they are caught.
