It would have been right to take the bat even if it had been an irreplaceable souvenir and had been broken. This is now about stealing satellite TV, not an Internet connection. The satellite signal reception doesn't use anyone's bandwidth and would have been wasted if not received.

Your example was what we call "nood breekt wet": "emergency breaks law", or in English "the lesser of two evils". It doesn't mean the guy would be allowed to keep his neighbour's baseball bat afterwards without asking it, that would still be stealing.

It was an example that theft isn't always wrong as someone seemed to imply on the previous page.
