I doubt the people stealing from Lidl & Aldi were the same people stealing £150 trainers. I may be wrong, but I suspect people stealing food from Lidl or Aldi were doing it out of desperation, whereas people stealing plasma TVs and £150 trainers were doing it out of greed.
It's still a crime, but I have more sympathy for a crime committed out of desperation than I do for a crime committed because of greed.
