Barry's rant reminds me of a story. A kid wanted a bicycle, and asked his parents for it as a gift, but he did not get one. So he stole one and asked god for forgiveness.
OK, so that's doable, and there's examples where courts ruled for the theives, that don't make it something that everyone needs to be happy about. You should try a little harder to not piss off those who you'd like as customers. As we're only a small bunch now, we kindof stick together, when we're not arguing over which color rules, and are somewhat protective of our friends.
So you can't contact the guy. In situations like this, morality says that a lack of an explicit yes means no. That doesn't mean we should be happy that you steal it and leave it to him to sue you later.
