Doesn't take a disaster for the lowlife to appear...Friend of mine had her shopping knocked off from the back of her car as she was opening her front door in Grey St St Kilda.Geez, looting after a disaster, there sure are some low lifes out there. But this is not unusual. I got flooded decades ago when living in StKilda and there were looters out trying to snatch stuff people had drying out in front of apartment blocks and the like.
I am also on a cycling thread and you see the better side of people sometimes - there is a thread there about avoiding going to the Dandenongs for a ride. The Dandenongs are popular because of some good challenging climbs, but quite a few people putting the word out to avoid them until things are sorted, then go for a climb and spend some cash in their cafes.

And unless there is a steeplechasing version of cycling would have thought riding in the Dandenongs would be off the agenda for personal safety reasons for a while.
