The Cyprus government IS the people. Just like in the USA. The money "stolen" still belongs to the people of Cyprus, and will be spent in the Cyprus economy to benefit the people of Cyprus, according to the advice and consent of the people of Cyprus. That's how democratic free market republics work.
So what about the stock holders and bond holders in the bank? They should go to zero. That is like GM repossessing cars to increase profits for stock and bond holders. Why can't we just have a normal bankruptcy anymore? How about every time a crime is committed we don't bother catching criminals? Just punish random people.

That's exactly why it's going to happen here in the USA. The politicians here in the USA are already eyeing up the 401K plans of those people who didn't waste and spend all their incomes, they need those savings to keep buying themselves votes.
It's only a matter of time before the 401K plans of the working people are confiscated to redistribute in a way that keeps certain liberal politicians in office. The money earned by only a few will be seen as "the peoples' money", not the money of those who worked for it and saved it.
