            How is it stealing if they took it from a bin?

              Because it is still property.

                  She told the police that she did not know what she was receiving and was disappointed there was so much ham as she would have preferred some steak.

                    And I bet the court case cost more than the ham she recieved.

                    What a waste of time and money, who bought the case? Tesco? For what purpose. It was in the bin and had no monetary value.

                    I'm sure there are more important things the police can be doing with there time.

                    Better to be feeding humans than crows on the landfill site it would have ended up on.

                    Pret a Manger and similar restaurants in London always have queues outside at closing time with homeless people waiting for the excess sandwiches, and I think it has become more organised, than a free for all.
                    Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.
