Ok, fair enough. I guess in my mind that would be burglary or robbery, not just simple theft, but if guess it would be possible to steal without doing that?

I'll just say this, I don't think my neighbors would just let me die of hunger if they had food and they knew I was hungry, and I hope no one ever is in a position where they would have to steal food from their neibors to survive.

absolutely, when people read your comment though its like I bought a sandwich at lunch and am about to eat it. My neighbor takes it out of my hand without asking and eats it. That may not have been your intended hypothetical situation, but thats where my mind went lol. I have siblings who stole my food all the time growing up. It is not a fun experience and if my neighbor did that I'd rightfully be upset haha, just ask! People get mad at seagulls for stealing ya know?
