I sometimes visit this site called Survival Life and follow them on facebook.
Today, they posed an interesting question and I'd like to hear your answer. (Yes YOU!)
It’s been 5 years since the collapse of civilization. Clothes and shoes are in high demand but in extremely short supply. Everything has already been looted long ago. Materials that could have been used as makeshift clothing and food nowhere to be found. In your immediate surroundings, clothes and shoes aren’t available for bartering. Your only hope to clothe your family and protect them from the coming winter would be to either steal from others or to peel the clothes off of corpses, and risk being infected by a disease. What would you do in this situation and why?

Stealing from different people. That way you can mix the clothes and people won't easily recognize them. I'm assuming people would be able to recognize clothes because of how rare they are and thus grow attachments to them.
