Have any of you stolen food because of hunger?

?

 

YES.

I don't see how it can be even deemed a crime.

 

lol you guys are doing this on purpose

 

I had to when I was a teen and homeless.

I completely agree red.

 

Yes..but don't tell anyone..waaay..more than once..what else is runaway supposed to eat.

 

Mayor LaGuardia was once residing in court over a case where a guy stole a loaf of bread in order to feed his family.

LaGuardia waved the 10$ fine the man faced and fined all the people presiding in the courthouse 50 cents for "living in a city in which a man has to steal in order to feed his family" or something among those lines.

Man walked out with a good 40$.

 

my then "girlfriend" stole me brie and wine on my 25th birthday

was broke, she was a rich girl who was cut off by her parents for drug abuse and being generally out of control

 

i was going to say "do the munchies count?" but this is a decidedly serious thread...im glad to say ive never been that hungry or in need.

 

I used to a lot when I was poor and living on my own.
I just.... had to....
I don't do it anymore.

 

Yes many times when I was poor and had no money. I have to scrounge for change for gas, and would steal stuff and return it at walmart for store credit to buy gas with. Then I would go to grocery stores and steal steak( nothing like a cold NY strip in your trousers!). My thoughts were if im poor not only am I not going to go hungry but im going to eat good. And dont even get me started on beating a bill.

 

Stand up bloke.

 

I stole a can of coke in the grocery store when I was having low-blood pressure.. I needed a sugar fix.. I actually had money but I forgot to pay..

I hope I never have to steal food out of hunger, I don't wish it to anyone..

 

Cant say i have, half the time i steal i steal for the sake of it, and end up giving the majority of it away to people. Like robin hood.

 

I was with my friend in the grocery store who was so hungry and broke that he started getting dizzy, grabbed a jar of Ragu meat spaghetti sauce, drank half of it, and put it back on the shelf

dude is barely above doing that 12 years later

 

I have never stolen food becase of hunger. There were some times when I went without eating for 3 to 4 days.

Glad those days are over.

 

ragu is pretty good..

 

I was only actually homeless for a couple weeks, and my friends family let me move in.

I'd go in to walmart and into the deli and eat it in the store, I'd walk off with things like tuna and bread.

 

I suppose this isn't really cos of hunger. More like principle.

I used to do my weekly gri\ocery shopping when I lived with K and every week without fail, I would steal one of those little Schwartz jars of saffron. It was so fucking expensive for a little pinch, I just couldn't bring myself to pay for it.

Funny, I spent 100$ on groceries but still felt the need to steal a $4 jar.

I love creamy mussel and saffron soup..

 

saffron is $15 in the spice aisle here

 

lol, grab some cans, head to the can-opener isle, then to the microwave section. Just say your testing the products. Would be mad funny.
