The laws from midevil times are far different to the laws of the modern day. Back then, it was no big deal to cut off the hand(s) of a thief. Usually it was the right hand as that is the dominant hand and the left one was used to wipe ones arse.
I think some of the Arabic countries still do this, as toilet paper is a rare commodity. So next time you watch Aladdin, just think, this guy probably wasn't able to wipe.
