You're staying in a hotel and you steal something from the housekeeper cart sitting unattended in the hallway.

Is that really stealing? They would've given it to you if I asked, but you didn't ask.

Technically, taking someone else's property without asking is stealing.

“Possession is 9/10ths of the law or something” as the court held in the seminal case of Finders v Keepers.
 
it honestly depends on what it is. if you're out of toilet paper and just took a dump without realizing you can't wipe and you notice toilet paper on the cart, yeah, you can take it. it's meant for customers who need it. you're technically paying for that service when you paid for the room.

if it's something like food and you didn't order it, yeah, it's stealing.

If you’re too embarrassed to ask the housekeeper for extra lotion because you have already used up the entire little bottle they give you on day one, then just ask for shampoo, conditioner, and lotion all at once to get her off your scent.

If it's items you actually plan on using at the hotel (not taking it with you when you leave) then no it's technically not stealing.

At the very worst it's considered rude since that employee might've only stocked enough items on the cart to stock what was on the daily checklist so it's easier for them to adjust inventory if you ask beforehand so they can account for it.
 
I'm at a yard sale, the lady having the sale has a lot of CD's, so I grab a few I want then head to a little line to wait. While standing there I notice this guy ahead of me has a few Bob Wills CD;s, Something I must have.

me.....excuse me but, I'll give you 10 bucks for those CD;s (a buck a piece was the price)
guy.....sold (hands them to me)

Now he sold something he actually didn;t own, hmmmm?

And to answer the question yes that was stealing , like everything else it comes in degrees,

not if you're a clepto, that's just small potatoes. Have some nuts, go rob a drug dealer.

he probably wants her to catch him beating his meat, we had workers in my town protest that sort of treatment, it was so rampant. If you're a clepto, you might be a sexual deviant too.
 
I used to travel a lot. if I liked the soap I'd take 3 or 4 extras for future travels. Some hotel soap is horrible. I don't think its stealing even though before I'd take it from the cart I'd make sure no one was around or watching.

Of course it's stealing, but on the spectrum of theft, it's small fry. Above that would be when I stole that box of 1993 Upper Deck basketball from the counter of Stop N Go. I didn't get shit from that box. Lol.

Above me would be Bernie Madoff and his ~80 billion dollar Ponzi Scheme. It's all relative, brother. What you did might get you a few seconds in Purgatory. What I did might get me a 10 minute time out. Bernie's getting anally sodomized by salt-covered BBCs that shoots sulfuric acid for cum in Hell.
