@StdDev...

Being homeless is never NEVER an excuse.You do not steal! You stay on the move. Doing what you can to get work, to find shelter, to survive.

Pointless answer because you'll probaby never be faced with the same decision... and you just contradicted yourself "... to survive."
He did what he needed to survive.
In Anchorage, where I used to live, the homeless people would go downtown to the city center where the Christmas Tree was located. They would pull strings of lights from the branches and stuff them under their coats to keep warm through the night. In the morning, they placed the strings of lights back on the tree. I worked at radio station across the street and saw this with my own eyes.
I guess, applying Zackstar's argument, they should have been arrested for stealing electricity...
