The thing about meat is that generally it doesn't get protected so is easier to steal than something more obvious. It's easy to sell on in the pub later too.
How f
ked up do you need to be to buy a joint of meat from a bloke you met in the pub?!Meat (particularly bacon) and cheese are big target items for professional thieves who flog on their wares to regular customers.

Criminality is often the perfect market at work.
Any more knowledge of things that one wouldn't think about that are "acquired" to order?

TBH, meat is the biggest one. Think about it - DVDs and CDs are luxury items. You don't need them but if you wanted them and weren't prepared to pay for them, you just download what you want. Food is a necessity. Baked beans cost fCriminality is often the perfect market at work.

k all and bread isn't worth the risk, it's too big and cheap. Meat and cheese are expensive and easy to steal. The shrinkage of multipacks of chicken, bacon and steak is massive, so much just goes missing from supermarkets it's unbelievable.People do steal meat, where I work we had one couple wait outside till the security guard popped out for a fag, then rushed in with a trolley, emptied our shelves of all the £15-20 joints of pork, beef, lamb and a few whole turkeys, some of which pushed £30, and legged it out with the trolley, put it in the back of a van and drove off.
My mate's dad used to buy meat off a shoplifter* that used to go in his hardware shop. It seems that there is a big market for hooky meat in the less desirable pubs. I can understand people chavs in fighting pubs buying dodgy razor blades and sportswear from some scally bds Adidas holdall but what sort of nugget buys meat that has been festering in there for a day or two?
ds Adidas holdall but what sort of nugget buys meat that has been festering in there for a day or two?* What made me laugh was whenever I saw him in the shop, he'd come in and say "Y'alright mate? Need any meat?". As soon as he went in the back room to ask his wife, a couple of tins of Evostick would fall into his holdall.

It's much the same in open prisons. If you're lucky enough to work in the kitchens you'd be expected to steal cheese and ham and trade it for phonecards, tobacco and money.The richest prisoners are found in the kitchens.
Had this at Tesco when buying a 'magic eye' TV sender/receiver unit. They took the whole box apart couldn't find the tag inside, stuffed all the stuff back in, most likely broke it hence why it didn't work when I got home. After this I returned it got my money back and bought a similar unit from elsewhere.
