I can see both sides of the argument. Never should an entire ethnicity be generalised, individuals obviously can differ massively despite sharing the same cultural background and upbringing, however of course there will inevitably be differences in what's deemed acceptable behaviour and perhaps (I don't know a great deal about them) Roma gypsies' way of life has lead to them believing thieving to survive to be perfectly acceptable within their community. That's not to say they are evil people or anything alike but it could well be an attitude that has been passed done through generations of trying to survive in a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly hard to sustain, but also obviously the only way of life they've known.
With that said, I don't know what my thoughts are on this story
