Who said Japanese wouldn't be a burglar in times of disaster??

On the first week after 3.11, the foreign media reported that

"Wow! Japanese are very clam and they make a line to buy foods in the
convenience store not steal!! Nobody steals from damaged houses!
No crime and no conflict there! What a ordered people!"

This is not true.

The policeman there are busy to prevent burglar from stealing
something from someone's house or things, for example new tires or equipments, which
were flown from somewhere by tsunami.

See?
Someone stole cans from a vending machine but I think we can't blame the person who
stole them. They were starved and HAD TO find a way to get foods and drinks to live.


This car's owner said that petrol was stolen.
Even the car is "standing", bad people tried to get petrol...

Well, it might be true that less criminal happened in the Norther Japan compared with
Haiti or Indonesia but also Japanese people steal things to live or to benefit...
