Do you have sympathy for those who are forced to turn to theft, or should they face the full force of the law?
00:08
To me, it's a difficult one, but I've seen it for Sam. I was at the pharmacy one day and this lady came in.
00:18
And what she was taking was something to do with her children. She said it's to feed her children.
00:24
It's a bit debatable, that one. I feel sorry for people who can't afford food. In that respect, I would agree with it,
00:34
but I wouldn't just go out every day and steal. No, full force of the law, definitely.
00:41
And yes, I think they should come down even harder, but I do as well think it should stop when kids are younger at home.
00:51
On the other occasion, I have turned a blind eye. I thought, yeah, they probably need that. It's not like luxuries or things like that, you know.
