You bubbled for 2 baguettes - shame on you

Clothes are not cheap in charity shops these days !

Shame on me?

Yeah they could have been starvin - mind yer own business - it wern't a bank robbery

He clearly wasn't a homeless person who was starving. He was just an idiot who couldn't be bothered to wait in a queue. He stood in the queue for at least 5 minutes before deciding "**** it". Okay it may have been a hasty decision but I wouldn't have said anything if they were clearly homeless and starving. Please don't criticise me when I've came on here for other people's experiences.

And if said thief was later to break into your house and steal your belonging because they're desperate you would have the same empathy? http://cdn.thisisbigbrother.com/cust...ar5970_177.gif

No but was 2 cheese and onions buns worth it really ?

2 cheese and onions buns a day for a few years is a lot of lost income

it's still theft regardless of the price

yes because thieves start small, better to stop them sooner than later

Yeah but its a full belly if yer starving

The sun is shining out of all your backsides and God forbid you ever fall upon bad times

You weren't even there though please stop defending him

I didn't ask in the poll if I'm a good person or not

You don't even know this welp, besides there are alternatives to stealing

how do you know he had fallen upon "bad times"

Ok no need to go on the attack -i'm just thinking there may have been another reason behind the theft and i would have got on with my own business- no reflection on you at all

You said "shame on you" which is an attack

You're presuming to know a hell of a lot about a lot of people you don't know.

you've gone on the attack with those who disagree with you though

I don't and you don't know either way ,so either way the buns are gone and its a crime.

It was baguettes actually, much bigger than buns

yes, theft is a crime that's correct

He was obviously wearing trousers - baguettes are well hard to hide in a skirt

^ Yep. People think that if its from a big chain nobody cares and its just 'sticking it to the man' but then the people working in that chain at store level are just the same as those working in a local shop, they're not the CEOs who aren't affected by a few quid going missing. I sympathise with people who feel the need to steal but I would still report it. And the vast majority of shoplifting is by people who want to profit from selling it on or of things they don't need but don't want to pay for, its not of necessity

Depends, a few months back I saw a homeless guy steal a sandwich from greggs, and I felt sorry for him and it was only a sandwich so idc
