All the rest is just plain theft. Not taking sides , but that sounds like logic of one murder is okay, 100 is not .
I've underlined above the key phrase.

I would more or less agree!

No, the THIEF is the one to blame. I'm sometimes very absentminded and have lost a lot of gear just to leaving things behind. I accept blame for a ~mistake~ but often times I get the gear back due to the fact that most of the people in the world are honest.
Larry's case is far more clear-cut. If everybody was as unethical as some people on this thread, the world would indeed be an evil place!
