How about I am running the generator and am home? The person stealing
the generator does not know what my requirements are. I happen to
also be supplying emergency power to elderly neighbors that have
medical problems. The person stealing it does not know what the
outcome will be. I am not saying that, if asked, I would not help.
Just that their problem does not justify stealing something that may
harm or kill some to save someone else. If it is my equipment then I
determine the priorities.
We can go on for weeks with various scenarios, both good and bad. In some
cases, the theft may save a life and IMO, would be justified. Other cases
it would endanger and not be justified.
