"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.

what ever happened to finder keepers....
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteApparently 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.
ReplyDeleteTheft by finding? The hell kind of charge is that? That's like arresting someone for, assault by falling down on them.
ReplyDeleteA crazy world we live in..
ReplyDeleteI wish she would have taken my trash. I still have a crap load to take out.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable...
ReplyDelete'Theft by finding' so much for Freeganism. I can't understand why you could be arrested for this.
Oh, just wait till you read my next article.
