This is a teachable moment: it's easier (and cheaper) to ask for forgiveness than permission. Like the bike rental in the background. He could steal a bike and apologize for it later instead of paying. Same with the balloons! Of course once he gets a reputation as a thief people will no longer trust him...plus he'll probably get into trouble and may end up having to pay for it anyway. On second thought, don't steal stuff. Honesty is the best policy.
