EXOD57 A person should go to a wilderness rather than steal from others. Rashi sites the Midrash which relates that Moshe went to the wilderness to remove himself from the possibility of theft; that is, so that the flock should not graze in the fields of others. Shemos Rabbah 2. From this verse we see how careful Moshe was not to transgress the prohibition against stealing. He went to the farthest end of the wilderness to prevent his sheep from trespassing upon and eating from the fields of others. Sometimes a person might use someone else's possession without permission simply because he is too lazy to find that person to ask his permission. Or, a person might something that belongs to another person because he does not want to trouble himself to go out and purchase the item, even though he can afford it. Anything someone uses without permission is stealing, any person should spare no effort to avoid this crime.
