Though if he really does have a duty to his wife then maybe he does have a duty to steal the drug. Given that the harm to his wife is greater than the harm to the shopkeeper he probably does have a duty to steal the drug (so I ammend my previous answer)
If I remember the case rightly... The drug cost $1,000 to make... I think he should have left the $1,000 on the bench as he left.
That way the only thing he is hurting (re the shopkeeper) is his sense of entitlement...
(and tresspass on his property...)
(and maybe it took him some time and effort (which should be compensated))
i'm tempted to say the shopkeeper should be punished...
But i'm not sure whether that is coming from anger or moral reasoning ;-)
