As can be seen in the video, the employee who is recording with her phone asks the thief: «Why do you steal?» And the woman responds simply: «Theft out of necessity.» The employee then says, «If you were to steal out of necessity, you would steal milk, not meat.»

The thief also tried to justify her theft of meat and said that she is not a vegetarian, that everyone eats meat and that is why she did it. Finally the girl who is recording tells her that she only came to the business to steal an expensive cut of meat to take to a party. (Filed As: Theft by Necessity)

At the beginning of the video, when the woman was caught, she tries to lie and says she was attacked by one of the workers. Well, the woman says that the guy who discovered her tried to hit her with a bottle of liquor. Given this, the employee denied absolutely everything.

This supermarket chain is very concerned because this is is not the first time that this has happened. On more than one occasion thieves have tried to take cuts of meat and the reason is unknown. (Filed as: Robbery out of necessity)
