Why would anyone in their right mind want to steal a defective

Because it's cheaper to give the customer a brand new unit than fix the
old one.


That's not stealing. If it was sent in for repair, they aren't
giving you anything, either.

Let's say you give me an object for me to look at, temporarily.
I put it in my pocket and walk away.
You never see me or your object again for as long as you live.

How is that not stealing?
