Are you that confident in your moral superiority to call a simple bent-employee type thief, scum?
Sure. stealing is wrong, he is a dishonest person. But it is hardly the same as stealing personal belongings is it?
I know many people who solely get holiday insurance to claim stolen items but I would never consider them scum. They run their own risk doing it, and the insurance company runs their risk providing the service.
I would rate these crimes equally to obtaining & using music, images, film & software without paying the required fees.
How many of us do that?
Do you have legit version of potatochop & plugins?
Even if you do now, did you when you started to learn it? If you have ever used any media illegally, then you have done exactly the same thing as mr bike thief there.
