If it were easy to steal a priceless work of art, does that mean the art museum deserves to be hit with a heist? No, because stealing is inherently wrong. But this bad dad didn't care about right or wrong as long as he got his 65" plasma screen TV at the 5-finger discount.
Stealing is bad. We learn that basically from the time we can walk and talk. So when someone older than 5 years old is stealing from a store, it's no longer deemed as some petty, ignorant mishap—we're looking at a crime. Although some deals on Black Friday may seem like a 'steal' to some, blatantly becoming a thief just because there's nobody there to stop you doesn't mean that robbery is suddenly okay. This mom was horrified when her brother-in-law came to the family dinner over the weekend bragging about an 'amazing deal' that he got on his brand-new TV (valued at $899)–except he didn't fork up any cash to purchase it, he simply walked out of the store because the line was too long.
