as i've been reading this thread, this thought crossed my mind too.
regarding stealing simply being unethical, that depends on whether you ascribe to moral relativism or not. would a mother, without a penny to her name, who steals a loaf of bread to feed her children be unethical? ethics are rarely black and white.
