After the earthquake and tsunami that hit Chile on February 27th, kicked off lot of social problems, one of them were the acts of looting in Concepción city. we can accept people doing this to get feeds, but is really hard to understand how other ones were stolen things that weren't first necessity.
To take this situation under control, the government let to the army take de city using the "toque de queda" state exception.
Incredible things happened days later, because people that stole articles that weren't first necessity were given back. For me this doesn't mean that these people do not pay for their crime, it would be good to give them a penalty for the damage, instituting fear and chaos to other people who were in the same situation of desperation by the disaster.
