They had these in Berkeley when I was there, my thought was always, why aren't the homeless hunting these for food?

Or salvageable RAM
at today's prices, they could afford to not be homeless with just kidnapping two or three robots.
Not with Berkeley housing costs being what they are.
I’ve seen a lot of videos of people in LA abusing them pretty hard.
Because it's a crime? A major issue for the homeless is not food but shelter and storage.

In this case risk vs reward it crazy low

Going to prison is a easy solution for missing food and shelter. Don't think that there lies the problem.
Guessing you haven't spent time in the Bay Area if you think "because it's a crime" is a deciding factor in these decisions.
