Do you have a sword with an undo button?
You can actually steal from the shopkeep in Links Awakening. He will kill you if you don’t leave fast enough.
He’ll kill you if you successfully steal and come back after. He’ll stop you if you are too slow on your attempt.
And everyone will call you THIEF instead of whatever name you entered for the rest of the game.
Killing someone for stealing has always struck me as profoundly pathetic.
I don’t think you are wrong in my own context, but in areas with essentially no hope of recovering from a life-altering theft, I can see it. In medieval times, right up to the modern era, where state police that (ostensibly) serve everyone were actually instituted, policing was essentially a private service. It was on the individual and whatever posse they could muster to get their stuff back.
