Lastly "letting you take a crate" is not what I said.
I said, of someone came in and took it without your permission, theft.
If I had one crate that I created with my effort, and someone came and copied it to get one for themselves without making any effort, I do not have any reason not to let them, apart from envy/pettiness (not wanting someone to have the same stuff as me while making less effort).
No one took my crate, I still have the same result after having spent the same effort/time/money on them.
A more direct example: Do you, after opening a door, let the person behind you pass along? Or do you slam the door shut against their face?
