Obviously not the most popular source of news around here, but the Daily Mail today published an article about the arrest of a woman for taking food that Tesco were throwing out: 'A woman was handcuffed and 'treated like a hardened criminal' after she helped herself to food worth £200 that had been thrown away by a Tesco store following a power cut.'

The full article is here:  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1355525/Woman-took-thrown-Tesco-food-handcuffed-arrested.html

Perhaps she might appreciate a solidarity demonstration outside the court if anyone is free in Chelmsford on Thursday 16th February. 'Theft by finding' my arse.
