I disagree, I don't think it's ever ok to steal regardless of the situation.
Two scenarios; you go to a cash machine and there's a tenner left in it from the person before. Nobody is around, no cameras, nothing. To take it is still theft but relatively easy.
Or...you're at a cash machine and there's a person on front of you. You wait until they have their money out and then mug them, asking for their money. Theft but a little more tricky as people are involved.
One takes more balls, but both are completely wrong. What I was saying originally is that to burgle does take a certain level of balls regardless of how wrong it is.
I wouldn't dare burgle a house, it's most likely a scary business. I also wouldn't do it because it's wrong. The dude who burgled in this case has nothing to do with what the judge said. Nobody has questioned whether the burglar was right or wrong, we all know he was wrong. The thread was merely a case slagging off a judge who has clearly made a mistake with his wording.
