I told this story once before and offended some people, but it's just an anecdote of one perspective. A young guy who worked with my son, who had grown up in Ainaloa, explained to him that the concept of property was pretty loose when he grew up. He and his friends thought nothing of dropping by other families kitchens when they weren't home and helping themselves.
As for haoles, he said the ones in Orchidland and HPP and so forth were like shopping areas full of pickings, conveniently near home but not home turf.
Just a POV from someone who grew up in a poor family here. Those who "got" should provide for those who don't got. Not that everyone has that outlook, but some do.
