It is interesting that theft gets framed in the context of a gun held to the head, when apparently some individuals believe everything (like emergency rooms) are run by magic and don't need to be paid for. They can go off and use such services, or count on them being there, and if they can pay, feel paying is theft. So using services and not paying for them is theft, but getting the money to pay for them is theft.
