Better example: You saw your neighbor hired a contractor to install a fence, and you offered him an extention cord before he asked for one. ... then you called the police when your breaker tripped.

The contractor trespassed onto my property and connected an electrical his own electrical cord to my power socket.

If a water tanker truck pulled up in front of your hose, connector a hose to your faucet and made off with 10,000 gallons of water, would that be theft? After all, it is just a path for water to go from the aquifer to the truck.
