Reply #200: First I would have to know

what sort of bags the groceries were in.

Brown paper bags? Plastic? Recyclable?

It makes a difference, you know.

Stuff in plastic or those recyclable bags could be literally anything.


Aside from that, though, I have to tell you about a guy who stole food from a local store. He did it constantly. Not from hunger. I knew the guy. I knew exactly what he had and what he didn't have. For him, stealing food from that store was a game.

Oh, and he stole from the local CVS store. Odd things like emery boards and razors (he didn't shave...had a beard and mustache) and some other weird things he didn't need. Why? Because it was fun. It was a game.

He also stole from a local department store pretty often. This was a bit more complicated than just a game, though. He would steal shit and then return it for a refund. So he could afford his booze.

Really, please forgive me for being a little cynical about the whole deal, but I do know for a fact that people steal shit they have no intention of using and/or that they don't need.
