If a HUGE natural disaster came to YOUR town would YOU loot?

[Brutuskend]

Be honest.

 

[Heisenberg]

Only for food/water if I was going to die without it and no help seemed imminent.

Edit: I'm talking about taking it from stores and such, not private houses or other people.

Yes, I would help myself to all the "Goodies" I could lay my hands on. To ME it WOULD seem like the end of the world.

Doh!

 

[BRObedoza]

i wouldn't loot i'd "find".

 

[Rip the Jacker]

Yes

 

[FoBoT]

i would only loot the banks, like gold bars and stuff like that

 

[Yossarian]

if conditions were bad for more than a couple weeks I probably would. anything less and I should have enough supplies to tough it out.

I like to think I'd leave a note saying I'd pay the owner of the stuff later if possible.

 

[suse920]

i'd be hiding in the local air force base

 

[yourdeardaniel]

yes, loot from the rich and give to the poor (me) i'm robin hood

 

[aidanjm]

I'd do what the smart people do and leave town when the early warnings came thru

 

[Kaervak]

For food, water & survival supplies, if I didn't already have them, absolutely. However I'm not gonna go out and steal a damn TV or jewelery.

not staying for the plasma HDTVs then ? :Q

 

[Kaervak]

Oops, double post.

 

[bradruth]

I'd be too busy beating this sh!t out of said scumbag looters.

Heres the thing, I wouldn't loot peoples houses because I'd consider that burglary apposed to robbing an abandoned store. I just think stealing from a store is much different than a house. Oh and if the store was locked and in pristine condition after the attack, I wouldn't bother to "break in" just to get some goodies; I don't care what it has, if there is no visible damage then I'd say "move on".

 

[Sex Smurf]

I'd stock up on condoms then sell them at high prices in the rescue shelters.











nah, hell no! I'm not a thief!

 

[KarenMarie]

I would take food, water and ammo.

nothing more.

edit: We are talking about a life or death situation, right?

 

[Zee]

I would also take food, water, guns and ammo. anonymously.

 

[novasatori]

Food, water ...






Maybe a radio or something, I'd say ipod but that's relatively usesless without music to put on it, so yeh, a radio, walkie talkies too.

 

[Yossarian]

on a related note, every time I go to Costco I wonder how long I could survive without leaving the building. years probably.

Don't you mean you'd be giving speeding tickets to the people trying to leave before the disaster?

 

[Chompman]

Some of the loot deals should be posted on the hot deal board since they are dirt cheap when that happens...

No, there wouldn't be nearly enough time to be running traffic if there was chaos like that. Calls for service take priority.

definitely

In dire straits:
food and water.
shoes and clothes as needed.
guns and ammo for the fending off stray bears and thugs.

If I were caught in a flooded city, I wouldn't worry about taking a life vest, life raft or canoe. I would even take a walkie talkie and batteries for it. I would take a tv...a small battery operated one to try to find out what's going on or where to go...no jewelry, not taking 20 pairs of jeans...

I would take as needed to survive, nothing more, nothing less.
