Stealing from other people, meaning individuals, is terrible and wrong. I would never. BUT, stealing from either a corporation, or the clergy is like being given that three years you spent working at safeway back at the end of ur life somehow.
I used to play in youth group praise band, when I was young and impressionable, some yahoo gave the band a de-armond 7 string sg type thing. None of us wanted to use it, it had seriously scrapable layers of grime. I tookit home, completely dismantled, painted, and brought it back to life, then never really returned it and sold it to a buddy for sixty. I feel like I should have been given an all new top notch rig for what I did for that band, then they kick me out for some lack of focus on jesus, right they were.
Sry if jesus is ur cup of tea, but he {censored} in mine, anyway id never steal froma person, but from a place like guitar center, I totally would.
