The guy is from Boosaaso; if there were Sharia there, the Islamists would hang him in the center town for Piracy before the thought of taking his floater to see crossed his mind. Jihadis don't fuck around; they amputate thieves, petty or professional, for the fun of it. They did horrible things to currency forgers and drug traffickers in the south.

(In the 18th century and prior, pirates were often sealed in small cages hanging in port, to die of exposure. Their bones would serve as a warning to sailors tempted to hoist the Jolly Roger.)
