wolf – If somonoe is abot to rob a bank and you stop the thief before he has a chance, do you think you have to reimburse the thief?

Surely you’re not equating potential legitimate profits with potential illegitimate gains?

The store owner is entitled to try to make a profit on the sale — which I deprived him of. The thief is not entitled to rob the bank.
