What that actually goes to is the question of whether he 'dishonestly' deprived the owner of the property of it. And there's a whole Section of the Theft Act (Section 2) that deals with that and explains it further. He clearly knew his legal and moral obligations about paying for the gas and obviously had a good intention to pay for it up to the point where he contacted the supply company. But he continued to use it well after that, for at least two years it appears, without reply, without stopping, without paying, and with no agreement that he could use it for free. When does that become dishonest? Immediately, after a year, two years, indefinitely? There must be a point when it ceases to be conveniently fortuitous. Anyway, according to Mr Goodge, he was probably barking up the wrong tree. If the developer had been paying for the gas, at whatever rate it did, it belonged to the developer not the gas company, and it was the developer he was depriving and should have been contacting. Whatever, it seems he just rode his apparent good fortune and may not, even now, have paid for the gas he used.
