109. Well, I don't consider desperate people trying to survive looters.
Ever read Stephen King's "The Stand"? It was about a nationwide epidemic where most of the population died and those who survived had to take what was available to survive even moving into people's houses who had died and using their stuff, which became their stuff. Money wasn't even used anymore because it wasn't needed. People just took what they needed. In dire times the rules change. It doesn't make the survivors criminals.
