I'm assuming you mean actually outright taking something that one normally pays for straight up, like if he got caught he could be arrested for theft or shoplifting. No, I don't think so. I'm pretty sure that the joy in what he does comes from beating the system at their own set-up, e.g. finding loopholes. Things like free bread at a restaurant, theater hopping, etc. Yes, I know technically that's stealing, but I think this thread has already debated both sides of that gray area to death.
It's more abusing the privilege of something that's being given for free.
Speaking of, oh man, I just totally remembered something I did as a kid. The bowl of mints/candy in the lobby of a restaurant. At the end of the meal on my way out, I would totally take most of the mints and stuff them in my pocket. I was maybe around 8 or 9.
