There's a dumpster in Sacramento with delicious sweet rolls inside.
Rich, chewy and a bit hard to find amid all the bakery trash, it's a good dessert to cap off a successful night of dumpster-diving for Tim Jones.
Jones actually takes two, gobbling them as he pedals away on his bike, which is lugging a trailer loaded with groceries he's grabbed from another dumpster.

I guess everybody has to have a hobby.
I wonder if these guys have health insurance.
Sooner or later, Salmonella, a chunk of broken glass, or something nasty is gonna get them and I suspect they would have no problem on depending our "affluence" when they head out to an ER for free health care.

They are nothing but parairtes, living off the labor of others.
Before I would let the bums use it, I would burn it or let it rot before putting it in the ttash.

Ya know, when I was growing up it was "Clean yer plate. Some starving kid in India would give his right arm fer that brocolli". These guys have taken it to a new level: they're cleaning up everyone else's plate. My how times change.
Sure, being on the mooch when you're 20 is just good clean fun and if you can throw in some nitwit moral rationalizing into the bargain you're home free. But let's see how much fun it is at 30..or 40...

Or they'll just sue the owner of the dumpster where they contracted the disease and then we'll have another government mandate that says all dumpsters must have a lock on them.

Not a word in the article of when or if they wash the clothes they've been dumpster diving in.

Just when I thought people could not get any weirder, this fine tid-bit shows up. I personally don't like to waste stuff, but this is crossing the line. Pardon me while I go throw up..

But all of them despise the American-style consumerism they call destructive.They just cannot manage to leave this country.
