Yes, he was a thief, and there won't be enough words to condem it. But blaming the whole system of democracy based on this would be short-sightedness. The exposure of news, and the courage of police to snatch the car from maoists, the raid of police on their cadres would not have been possible in without the existence of democracry. Of course, there're enough flaws on it, and corrupts like them, but I won't blame the whole system for it. The news like this would never be able to go through the censor on then autocratic monarchy, anything against monarch or the rulers would be taken as a big crime. Just because the news don't get published doesn't mean that it doesn't exist then. And yes, we should condemn maoists for these acts.
