Let's try a familiar example. Say you manage your cash with envelopes. You have one envelope for food money and another for entertainment. There's a big show in town you want to see so you take money from the food envelope and replace it with an IOU from the entertainment envelope. Your food account is in order. Instead of entertainment, why don't you just say crack cocaine. You want your crack cocaine and you have no money in the crack cocaine envelope so you steal from you food envelope. What difference does it make? Someone stole money from your food evelope to feed a crack cocaine habit and you have no money for food. If they return the money, then they just borrowed the money. If they don't return it, they then in effect stole the money. What is your problem?
