This study delves into the detrimental consequences of incentives for parties involved in theft, focusing on the context of Indonesian local wisdom. While incentives are commonly employed to motivate specific behaviors, this study sheds light on how they can exacerbate the adverse impacts of theft in the Indonesian cultural context. This study used qualitative research methods, including interviews and ethnographic observations, to investigate how material or immaterial incentives contribute to the perpetuation of theft and its negative repercussions within the framework of Indonesian local wisdom. The findings reveal that in some cases, incentives fail to deter theft and encourage the continuation of this illicit activity, thus undermining the principles of communal harmony and traditional values in Indonesian society. This research calls for reevaluating incentive-based strategies and reintegrating local wisdom to address these issues in Indonesia. © 2024 The Author(s).
