If you or your loved ones are starving, are you allowed to steal food from those who have more than they need? On the face of it, yes, of course: Pikuach nefesh says you can break any commandment to save a life, except those against idolatry, sexual immorality and murder. Stealing is not on that list. Yet I asked that question to more than one rabbi over the years and they always managed to squirm out of it without giving me a firm answer.
