Local news story on home break-ins targeting food!

 Been a rash of breaking & entering in my area, cars and homes being hit for valuables of course but a local story in this morning's paper caught my eye about thieves breaking into homes and the owners reporting that food seemed the only thing missing.

WTF? It hit me, wouldn't you have to be real hungry to take that risk and only target food? Man, maybe it's a sign ts is really about to htf.
 


Since he did not provide a link to said local news story, I'm calling  :bs:

7. a community garden is out in the open, that isn't someone's home
 
 Edited on Fri Aug-19-11 06:52 PM by pitohui

it's legitimate to think if you're hungry, that the folks working the community garden might want you to take food or even if it isn't quite legitimate, a desperate person could persuade themselves that it's OK to take the food ... plus it's a nonviolent act (i never stole from a community garden when i was homeless but i noticed that it would be an easy thing to do)

a home invasion is a violent act, they are not there just to help themselves to what's in your fridge but also to who's in your bed and what's in your medicine cabinet and they don't mind killing you if you object to being raped and robbed

 Isn't a community garden FOR the community ?  :whatever:

Would you rather go without underwear for a day or lunch? :lmao:

Seriously, I had someone break into my apartment just to drink my beer and sleep in my bed.  I came home to a broken window, an empty refrigerator, and filthy sheets.

Whew! I'm glad you mentioned that. I thought that I was perverted or something when I thought it said "panties". Thankfully, since you posted first you're the pervert with panties on the brain.

I guess maybe my fictional spirit-guide powers must have intercept some of your perverted thought waves or something. Yeah, that's the ticket! :lmao:

I thought nearly the same thing, but I thought it meant a perv was on the loose and to lock your chastity belts.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Me too. Then again it's not all that unusual for some freaks to steal panties either from some house or from the outside if they are on the clothes line. BTW does anyone still use a clothes line anymore?

I do for everything except blue jeans (they get too stiff). But there's nothing like putting clean sheets that have been dried on the clothesline on your bed! My husband made me a great, long one because it's too hot in the summer to use the dryer.

I agree. When mom used to hang the clothes on the line they always came out smelling so much cleaner and nicer then out of the dryer.

OK now if I had my druthers I would prefere a Pantie thief to a food thief.

I can live for 60 years without Panties, perhaps 17 days with out food.

I can see in an emergency people stranded in the snow coming across a cabin, breaking in an finding life substaing food,  when rescued that does not mean they do not have to pay for damage to the camp and repay them for the food.

Then there is the question of parents that are down to a nickle and a dime and a hungry baby.   The steal, shop lift formulae, nothing else, ethical questions here.

I have no doubt that any mother that is starving herself will not do ANYTHING to feed their children.

Then the folk that are not yet hungry, still have plenty yet are stocking up on more, these are the people one shoots.    One thing to loose a TV or PC to a looter, but when they steal food and or life saving medicine one needs and cannot replace, here is when survival of the fittest comes in.

I hate to get off the topic of panties but I have to call BS on the OP. If a person is that hungry the local food bank will help them. I know because several months ago things got really bad for me and after selling pretty much everything I had to get money to get my truck going and keep a roof over my head I found my self stuck with no food. A quick call by someone from the chruch was all it took. I hated the idea of going to a charity but I couldn't even keep my pants up because I lost so much weight. They loaded me up with a months worth of food. I was so glad I had donated food to them in the past because I felt bad enough accepting what they gave me. Things are a bit better now and I have been able to donate to them again.
