There's a single raised eyebrow here, because of all the defenses to use... It's that there's nothing interesting. That is the single most flimsy defense to ever come out of a hobo he's met, and he's been to the New York subways. Such a rare event is worth some type of medal. Probably.
Or not. Sirius gets a sigh. "Because you're looting an apartment of broke bastards."
Which is all the worse off for him because this guy's even more of a broke bastard than the other broke bastards around here, and how many have walked past without caring, without even acknowledging it. Humans are assholes.
Situational analysis: he is not (as much of) a broke bastard, there's two hours to burn before the Hillingdon check-up, and turning away from someone who could use assistance is forbidden. But most importantly, he doesn't want to dump garbage on top of an already messed-up hobo. There's being rude and then there's being rude, honestly now, "Get out of the dumpster and I'll buy you lunch."
