This is really an important point. Where does this come from? What would take a reasonable person and make them actually think to effectively steal a piece of equipment? I believe entitlement mentality is at fault. Whenever consumerists in our society don't get what they think they're entitled to (an erroneous conclusion based on unfounded expectations) they love to attack big institutions because they desire control over both sides of transactions. It is not enough for them to be able to have the final say, accept or decline -- they must dictate what is offered to them, how much it costs, and how it will be delivered, as if society exists to serve only their personal needs.
