The latest thefts of consequence are occurring for what was considered trash. Presumably, if something is put out in the yard as trash it can be taken by anyone. I don't understand that legal argument if there is not a sign saying "trash" or "take me. I am free" I thought that anything that is on your property is yours until you take it off your property...but one lawyer does not see it that was as he argues for his clients.
Is it desperation that breeds much crime, as I believe, or just that our citizens have totally deteriorated morality? I would wager that most want to work and be independent without fear of getting caught by the law or losing control of their freedoms.
The high price of gasoline has made the combination of used cooking oil and alcohol, a most desirable fuel for many around the country. The moral of the story seems to be that you must make every effort to protect your heirloom silver when a couple of brothers decide to make the price go up; your roof flashing and vents in copper when the metals market shifts; your gold jewelry when the price of gold hovers at $900 an ounce; and anything someone else may covet of yours because they just want it. Even though we are not living in a village in Africa where the host must give away whatever is being admired by, then to, the guest. In the US, the owner is not given the choice to follow hospitable custom as he may argue to keep his own property. Instead, it is just unconscionably taken from him rather than risk refusal.
