Looters at a Wal-Mart brazenly loaded up shopping carts with items including microwaves, coolers and knife sets. Others walked out of a sporting goods store on Canal Street with armfuls of shoes and football jerseys.

Outside the broken shells of Biloxi's casinos, people picked through slot machines to see if they still contained coins and ransacked other businesses. "People are just casually walking in and filling up garbage bags and walking off like they're Santa Claus," said Marty Desei, owner of a Super 8 motel.


I know, I know, this is the same general info that we've seen earlier, but I hadn't noticed the microwave mentioned until reading it again. Anybody wanna bet that some of these thieves were surprised when the microwave didn't work when they got it home?
