Collecting is one thing a lot of people do with a great many items.
Hording however is something different. If you have stockpiled up a amount of an item that are deemed necessary to many but will have to be rationed because of a great need somewhere else to the extent that you have now acquired much more than others, like the government, feels ir right, then you might be considered a hoarder.
This was not an unknown situation during WWII when people would cut back a bit on what they were allowed, like fuel or food, that was needed to go to the war effort. If you were caught doing this the punishment I believe could be a bit harsh.
People were issued ration cards and you were not allowed ot exceed the limit of coupons you were given. You had to be able to account for your ration book and report if something happened to it.
During the war in S.E.A. we were given ration cards each month. As you used things on the cards they would punch that item. When the card was finished, so were you. Getting things for other people, especially foreign nationals, was black marketing and you would be picked up for it. At best you could be fined, have a record of this placed into your personnel files, and loose your card privileges for whatever time period your commander, or the base or wing commander decided. If it was serious enough, you could be reduced in rank, confined, discharged, or maybe even sent to Fort Levenworth. If the offense was big enough.
