What if you knew that TV would finance their ability to buy food or
safety in the near future? I seriously doubt that these people have the
type of lives that would allow them to take that tv and xbox back home,
plop down on the couch, and enjoy it for very long. They're probably
going to be (or hoping to be) selling it to the next guy in order to
get what they need to survive soon enough.

You think there is much of a market for stolen TVs in New Orleans?
You paint an interesting picture, though I doubt it is realistic.
