From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's not "desperate single moms" that are stealing these things. These are often fairly organized groups that actually make their money by stealing people's packages off of their porches and then reselling the items. And a few of them are just assholes looking to ruin somebody else's day while making themselves a bit richer.
That may very well be, but the videos speak for themselves - there are no "organised groups" on display, mostly just clearly poor folks and maybe some opportunists.
