I'm surprised if he got away with it too. I suppose its possible that it was an empty flight and the FAs just let it slide. He seemed like a pretty honest guy, but then again I only knew him for less than 4 hours. Maybe he was the Governor's son
On the matter of stealing, purely for argument's sake: is it really theft if he's not taking anything from anyone? I mean if he's the last one on the plane then he's not in someone else's seat. The meals aren't going to be eaten anyways if there are extras. I suppose he is stealing any beverages he drinks, but on an intl. flight that doesn't make any difference.
