Thieves often run in gangs, and seems at least they stayed away from here!

Yes, it is an awful thing to do. Once after a hurricane we had here in Louisiana, I was staying in my apartment even though we didn't have electricity yet and someone tried to steal my AC right out of my bedroom window but I wasn't asleep and I scared him off with a lighter that looked like a small derringer gun! lol

Pitiful people!

Your title gave me an idea for a poem actually, I just finished reading a book called "The Palace" makes me think of this!

I will have to check it out.

Tim, these people have no moral compass, so sad for people already devastated

Tim Smith
Date: 9/17/2017 12:46:00 PM

We live in sad times I'm afraid Constance.

As if the misery of people after nature's violence isn't awful enough ...

Tim Smith
Date: 9/17/2017 12:45:00 PM

Yes Darren...the people are having a difficult time already.

Tim it never surprises me. Pretty sad. Thanks for sharing.

Tim Smith

Thanks Michael, it sure is a sad time but it is never too late to change.

Great blog, sad enough the hurricanes destruction without humans adding to it, I might write a song about this!

Tim Smith
Date: 9/16/2017 6:21:00 PM

So true Arthur...the situation is so sad

Closer to home thieves are taking advantage of Irma all around here to steal, and even try to kill and some killing going on..Sad that this world has come to such degree of evil..A person broke into a place or just went into a place and the people gave him the money that he asked for and he shot one of them anyway but the man is still alive..Sara

Sara Kendrick
Date: 9/16/2017 1:51:00 PM

We are blessed in that we were not as adversely effected by the storm..Our county and city as a whole did not see as much destruction as some..Some in our area were still without electricity on Thursday but I haven't heard the lastest report..Sara

Tim Smith
Date: 9/16/2017 8:44:00 AM

That is so sad Sara. I am glad to see you are alright. Many are still without power.On some of the small islands off of Florida you can't travel the bridges because they haven't been deemed safe.

Seren
Roberts

How awful why do people stoop so low. Thieving as you say is not good in any shape or form. You can kid yourself but truth shows.Well done Tim and the people who commented.

Tim Smith
Date: 9/16/2017 8:41:00 AM

Thanks Seren. Many don't have a conscience and take the easiest way to prosperity. I hope you survived the Aileen winds without any damage.

This brings back memories of the same ugliness after Katrina. I always thought that food left in abandoned stores was better taken by the needy then left to spoil. But the not so needy become greedy and running off with a flat screen tv is the work of thieving beasts. I suppose that description could cast a shadow on many...those who plagiarize, fool themselves into believing they're always right, etc., and it's not always done under cover of night. Jan and I have been bitten by the same throat malady. Get well, dear one.

Lin Lane
Date: 9/15/2017 12:41:00 PM

Jan and I are together in thought but an ocean apart. Thanks for the get well wishes, Tim.

Jan Allison
Date: 9/15/2017 12:40:00 PM

We were just together in spirit Tim we are soup sisters:-):-) hugs jan xx

Tim Smith
Date: 9/15/2017 12:38:00 PM

Yes Lin it is more of a greed issue...you two weren't together??...get well too Lin

Jan Allison
Date: 9/15/2017 12:33:00 PM

It's most bizarre we are both suffering with our throats Lin I hope you feel better soon. I can understand the starving people having the food but as for anything else its despicable. Theft is is a criminal activity and I hope they get court!:-( hugs jan xx

Jan
Allison

Date: 9/15/2017 12:15:00 PM

Gee Tim this is spooky a thief has stolen my voice and I am almost silent:-(... if you find it please return it asap:-( I've just seen the doctor and hope its back after the weekend:-( this isn't a joke by the way its true the doctor had to ring the specialist about my throat and the pain when I try to swallow:-( hugs jan xx

Jan Allison
Date: 9/17/2017 12:05:00 PM

Apart from the throat problem i am fine carol I think hubby is enjoying the silence lol:-) hugs jan xx

Carol Eastman
Date: 9/17/2017 12:00:00 PM

Hope you get better soon. Love Hubby, Carol, Dragon and the penguins.

Jan Allison
Date: 9/16/2017 7:04:00 AM

Thanks for the advice Michael:-) hugs Jan xx

Michael Tor
Date: 9/15/2017 9:09:00 PM

Jan three days of Golden Seal Root will take care of that...

Tim Smith
Date: 9/15/2017 12:23:00 PM

Lots of rest Jan...you are in my prayers

Tim
Smith

Date: 9/15/2017 12:14:00 PM

. This is about all the looting and killing in the Caribbean after hurricane Irma...the looters are justifying it by saying they are starving...I don't believe it...theft is morally unacceptable and shouldn't be tolerated.

Carol Eastman
Date: 9/17/2017 12:01:00 PM

I agree. The whole islands looked devastated.

Eve Roper
Date: 9/15/2017 7:55:00 PM

I try not to watch TV, Tim, but leaving here around Houston ( actually anywhere ) it proceeds just so they can gain some wealth out of the expense of others :(

Jan Allison
Date: 9/15/2017 12:34:00 PM

I've seen it on the TV Tim its amazing how low some folks stoop:-( hugs jan xx
