Of course there is free stuff. A friend stopped into town after I hadn't seen him for years. I gave him a set of New Rocks, a hat that another friend said he'd shoot off my head if he ever saw me wearing it again, and a lighter he could burn himself with (It is plasma). I expected nothing in return and may never see him again.
And there there is the bad person option. If you steal it it is free. If you never get caught there is never a price, it was free (I'm not going to go into social impacts of outlier behavior as OP sounds like they mean it on an individual level).
