What looters never understand is how theft affects those who create and produce.

Looting is all well and good, as long as there’s something to take.

Beyond a certain point, creation and production ceases, leaving an ever shrinking stock of goods that will not be replaced.

Once thieves run out of victims, they start in on each other.
