MOORE, Okla. (AP) -- Authorities say looters have come from as far away
as New York and Virginia to steal from victims of last month's tornado
in Moore, Okla.

The Oklahoman reports (see link below) that police arrested one man
from
Elmhurst, N.Y., and two from Virginia on misdemeanor complaints of
stealing copper wire, scrap metal and other items from homes destroyed
by the May 20 tornado. Twenty-four people were killed.

Several Moore residents were also arrested on similar misdemeanor
complaints.

Residents have filed theft reports for such items as a $50,000 watch, a
$13,000 watch, a $2,000 fountain pen and a $1,300 hunting camera.



Isn't it ironic.

US Border guards stop a semitrailer loaded with food, blankets, diapers
and water from going to Moore, Oklahoma to give those much needed things
away free to the people there.

But no one is stopping looters from going to Moore, Oklahoma to steal
from the people there.

Somehow that seems bass-ackwards to me.


Somehow you missed that the police were there to stop them
Not to mention that your argument raises the question how do you identify
someone who is going there to be a looter ?
