If someone stole your wheelchair, and there was another person's wheelchair next to you, would you take it?

Question

If someone with working legs steals a wheelchair that's despicable, but I feel like if you had no legs and someone had just stolen your wheelchair a minute ago, that it's acceptable or at least understandable to steal someone else's if it's just sitting there vacant... Is it acceptable?

Answer 1

id be sitting in my wheelchair so noo one would take it!!!

Answer 2

no it's not acceptable to steal someone elses wheelchair!!!

Answer 3

like momma always said, "Two wrongs don't make a right"

Answer 4

Heck yeah! It is a truly forgivable crime called necessity.  I would take the chair out of necessity and wheel that thing faster than I ever did before, catching up to the old hag that stole mine, take out her/his wheels, oh nevermind, they are my wheels, knock her out of it, and then blow out the other chairs wheels, take mine back, and put that flat tired one right next to her, making the new owner think she did it.  NICE.

Answer 5

Two bad acts don't add up to a good one. Even if you can justify it in your mind, stealing from someone because you were victimized is not morally acceptable. The exception would be if the handicapped person needed the chair in an emergency ( a fire, for example) then he or she would be justified in taking the chair to save his or her life.

Answer 6

I would probably ask the person with working legs why they aren't interest in the vacant wheelchair. If he still took my chair, I would probably just sit there all pissed off.
