One last question, your are desperate, may be on the verge of starvation, would it be right, in the situation above, to steal from another.
Yup, just take whatever you fancy. You open the post saying probably not many people about. If it's not nailed down I'm having it. Actually, even if it is nailed down I'm still taking it. Because I want or need it now, or may do in the future.
Basically all bets are off PSHTF. I don't care who owns it, if they're not there guarding it then I'll have it. Now that doesn't mean I shall be reckless (before the worry-worts start with "You'll get shot in the face" or other such crap) but if it's viable to take then I shall.
Shit, some of us don't worry about the laws now, why would we care after the event?
