Remember the thread on someones car being broken into in the hipsters car park - this is the same as that, theft, and he's a criminal. I don't care why either of them did it, its wrong.
OK. My previous post notwithstanding, it sounds like he had a choice: risk death, or do this. No, it isn't right that he did this. It also isn't right that the NHS queues were placing his life at serious risk. This is not a black-and-white issue.

Agreed. And I'll be willing to bet that that never happens again...
