They discover a hole in the ghetto wall and sneak out, taking food and goods to survive because they were not given any. Despite the illegality of stealing, they had no choice but to do so in order to avoid starvation or death. Although they live in severe poverty, they found ways to live.

they feels the right to do it. The last part of Hayes’s Retail Theft Triangle is the low perception of risk, some employee think he or she might not get caught. (Hayes, 1993).
