Woman Arrested for Taking Trash(?)

News link.
"A woman has been arrested after helping herself to some of the 3000 pounds worth of food that a Tesco express had thrown out. Sasha Hall is said to have taken some potato waffles, pie and ham that she had found in the street, following a power cut at the Tesco in Great Baddow, Essex. She was shocked as she was approached by police and arrested for 'Theft by finding'. The 21 year old is now facing trial later this month."

The world is going completely fucking insane.

  2. This is crazy! The food was just going to go to waste anyway (which is awful, I hate waste). God bless us, we're such a messed up country.

  3. Apparently that's not how things work in the real world seeing as how the company tried to argue that the trash they threw out was going to be recycled and reused.

  4. Theft by finding? The hell kind of charge is that? That's like arresting someone for, assault by falling down on them.

  6. Unbelievable...

    'Theft by finding' so much for Freeganism. I can't understand why you could be arrested for this.
