The difference is the police will arrest people who steal cars and will prosecute them but they won't do the same for the uber wealthy exos of these companies.
I mean, 90 percent of the time, the police can't do jack about a car theft besides keep their eyes peeled. By the time you even realize it's gone, it's usually in pieces or in a shipping crate on its way to another country.
I admit the analogy wasn't perfect but i think it gets the point across
