Sorry but being broke and unemployed is no excuse to break into people's homes to steal. Hopefully they will now provide her with room and board with a whole lot of room mates

"Now judge, judge, I got debts no honest man could pay
The bank was holding my mortgage, they taking my house away
Now I ain't saying that makes me an innocent man
But it was more and all this that put that gun in my hand." - Johnny 99

It may turn out that empathy will be the biggest casualty after loss of life.

We are going to see more and more of this.

I spoke to the wife about beefing up our home security as I think this is going to get worse and worse as the government continually trips over their own feet in managing this pandemic.

An increase in this type of crime has been occupying my thoughts lately. 
Desperation will, inevitably, bring out the worst in society. 
When you have lost everything and have nothing else to lose, people will resort to desperate measures to put food in the mouths of their hungry children. 
We are only beginning to see what will likely be a big uptick in robbery, burglary and property crimes. It will also likely lead to a big increase in loan sharking and the physical harm inflicted when people are unable to repay. 
stay safe and remain empathetic.
