I've seen some people defend shoplifting (including of baby-formula) with something along the lines of: "People who do it are desperate and oppressed, so unless you're a class-traitor you should pretend you didn't see anything."

However cases like the one in that link--and knowing at least some of the products get fenced and resold rather than consumed by the shoplifter--make it really hard for me to fully buy into that worldview.
