I guess I'm just a proponent of Occam's Razor...when I hear about someone stealing small quantities of food, I assume it's because they're hungry...But you're right, it could have been for any number of reasons.

Not that anyone wants to hear my lame a$$ story...but many moons ago I quit my job to become a stay at home day trader because my wife was expecting our first little girl...Become a self taught day trader is like becoming a self taught real estate investor...in more ways than one....When all was said and done...I actually put food on the table each month trading options.

But having this in the lease may prevent tenants from dumping food/grease in the kitchen sink or unwanted items (toys, etc) from the toilet.

takes a certain type of person to do that work daily!

There is no reason we can't do weekly chats or even daily ones if we can get enough people interested.So . . . why don't we plan for one this week, and we'll all work to get people to swing by.Who wants to take the lead and start spreading the word?

It is a crisis... the poor will get poorer and as food gets more expensive, the American taxpayer (Only the working, earning Americans by the way, the majority that abused the "everyone should own a home policy" by using their home as a ATM card will get welfare and foodstamps and guess how the gov't will pay for that?

Can you tell me how someone goes about getting higher up in the food chain?

I would also say visit the southside for Pittsburgh food and great times.

I was thinking a box of chocolates or something, but I kinda don't want to send a sweet/food item just in case the person is diabetic or something.

A $100 trip to the grocery store will become $500 because food is essentially oil made edible.
