How will the stores recoup the stolen cash? That kind of mentality is exactly why they have a near-25% unemployment rate.

I don't think it's meant to be a long-term thing. It's not the act itself so much as what it symbolizes: screw the rules, care about people. The bigger thing is his efforts to convince local governments to ignore debt repayments and not lay people off, or as he said "to think about those who are suffering more than about the banks."
Not to say that theft is ever justified, but the protest is more important.
