Into the woods: how one man survived alone in the wilderness for 27 years

[Chainfire]

12. The man made a choice to live by thieving from others. He must be a Republican.

The story mentioned him defeating security systems to allow him to break and enter into peoples homes to steal what he needed to not only to survive, but to steal batteries to power his various electronic devices that he also had to have stolen. As far as I am concerned, he is not some kind of reclusive folk hero, but just a weird, anti-social thief who owes a lot of people a lot of restitution.

When someone breaks into your home, they take more from you than just the items that they steal. Stolen items can usually be replaced but the sense of security is gone, your privacy has been violated, and you always have to wonder when it will happen again. The next time, will he catch you at home and harm you or your family.

I would throw the book at the guy.
