There were trees all around them. Gasoline is neither needed nor practical to cook dinner with. No matter how poor you are, there are always better options. Certainly better options than breaching a high pressure pipeline to steal gasoline (which evaporates extremely quickly) with buckets.

You make it sound like they were innocent victims of circumstance. Their deaths were as self-inflicted as their poverty, and both symptoms of the same disease: Terminal Stupidity.

Agreed, hunger is the greatest motivator.

But maybe instead of taping into a pipline and burn to a crisp, steal your gas from the gas station or a car, whatever happens to you when you get caught can't be worse than being burned alive.
