Justice or Injustice???

If someone stole $1000 worth of household goods in my house and I had these three options I would go for option #3 because:
• Person is released from jail as soon as he or she has repaid you the $1000:
Well I think that this isnt really punishment. I think that the burglar deserves a more severe punishment because he's only giving back something that wasnt his so what of the act of burglary? What is his punishement? nothing.
• Person goes to jail for two to five years but is not required to repay anything:
Well I think this is a bit more effective because at least the person gets punished for their crime. But what of the money they stole? I think they should give the money back because it isnt theirs and because 2 to 5 years in jail does not repay me back $1000
• Person goes to jail for a year and must repay the $1000:
I think that this would be the most effective way to punish someone for burglary. They get their deserved punishment and they pay back the $1000 that they stole. I think this is fair for both the victim and the criminal.

In the U.S. I think that punishment # 2 or #3 would be the most likely given to someone who steals.
In South Florida I think that punishment # 2 because I have had past experience in which we were robbed but no one paid back anything. Considering the fact that no one ever caught the culprit.
And finally I think that the punishment that is most just is punishment #3 because it gives each person what they deserve. The victim gets their stuff back and the burglar gets his proper punishment. And everyone is happy =] ......okay maybe not everyone but most people are
