A store has a sign that says "free bread", you take a loaf, and later it turns out that the sign was put out by mistake- are you a thief?

His point was that the allegorical "free CS2" sign is conspicuously missing in this case. I couldn't find one either...

I don't see a sign that says "free bread" that is my issue.

Whether you're a thief or not, is it harmful merely to wonder if you might be? I believe not.

No, but it also wouldn't kill you to check with the store owner first

If you don't return the loaf, I think you're being unethical.

I'm with you and I'm sick of Moral Decay.

Just because something is legal doesn't mean you should do it.

Just because you can do something questionable without anyone probably finding out, doesn't mean you should do it.
