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.
