Another thought...

We had been picking tangerines a few at a time. We had had a major picking early in the season, and were due for another major picking soon, to end the season. When we pick lots of fruit, I always take some of it down to the Second Harvest Food Bank in San Jose.

If the scum of the earth thieves did not pick the fruit because they were hungry, then they took fruit out of the mouths of people who are. And that makes me angry -- more so than the loss of the fruit for ourselves.
