Theft
You should never steal.
Even if you go to a huge big-box store where they make billions of dollars by gouging people, you should never steal.
They'll never miss it, you might think to yourself. That's probably true. Even if they watched you do it, they probably wouldn't approach you about it. They'd be afraid of a lawsuit.
Maybe you need it. Maybe you need it really badly. Maybe you might suffer harm if you don't get it soon.
Doesn't matter. It's a sin to steal.
If you still haven't figured it out, just think: what if someone stole it from me? Which comes back to the golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
