I beg to differ. In FFVII they stole 3 of their 4 vehicles. The Tiny Bronco? Stolen from Palmer, who was stealing it from Cid. Cid didn't even know they'd taken it until after it was in flight. He tagged along, but he didn't really let them have it, since he had no choice in the matter. The Submarine? Stolen from Cloud's parade buddies. The Highwind? Stolen from the Junon airstrip (true, the crew of that one was loyal to Cid, but they possibly could have done it without them). Just take what you want, don't bother paying for any of it.
