chosen.content: It is never morally right to steal. Stealing is a violation of someone else's rights and is an invasion of their property. Such an act is also unfair to those who have earned or worked for what they own, and who could then suffer consequences as a result.

rejected.content: Under certain circumstances, it may be morally right to steal. For example, stealing food, clothing, and shelter from a tyrannical government that is using force to oppress its citizens could be seen as a moral act to safeguard the basic needs of life. However, most cases of stealing are not of this magnitude, so it is important to carefully assess the situation and weigh the moral obligations of either borrowing, renting, or purchasing the item before making a decision to steal.
