Because I don't know if they've been storing it at the appropriate temperature for it not to spoil?

If it's stolen the same day then there's no huge risk, if you prepare it soon after. With cheese even less risk. But of course there's always some risk buying stolen shit from junkies.

Often from what I know it goes like this: they owe money to someone, can't pay it back because naturally all the money goes to drugs so instead they'll steal shit for you. So you'd be sending them to steal specific expensive shit and would be waiting for it and know it's stolen the same day and whatnot.

Though it's fucking idiotic to loan money to junkies in the first place but I guess this way you'll recoup some of it at least.

I just don’t understand why you’d steal stuff that easily spoils in order to resell it when there’s durable goods that don’t need an uninterrupted cooling chain, I guess.

They steal stuff that doesn't spoil as well. It's been on the news for a couple years now but laundry detergent. Shits expensive and never spoils.

Laundry detergent and baby formula are basically currency in some areas I've read.
