New Yorkers still without power after 12 days

[Scythe13]

there is no point in looting food if they dont know how to cook it! there is no point in looting food if they have no way to heat it up! there is no point in looting tins if they havent got a tin opener! there is no point in looting food if their going to freeze to death!

There's no point in stealing a wide screen TV if you can't afford the electricity to turn it on, but they still do.

yep, SENSE never did make any difference to a looter.

That's a good point well made.

I still think that pot noodles, crisps, and the alike, will be looted in the second round of looting.

Looting seems to go in waves. First it's shops, then it's abandoned homes, then it's back to shops, with the odd street here and there.

Let's say an event happened at 6am. People would be looting for food by 9pm that same day, I believe.
