This has to be my favourite definition so far: ;D
Robbing - The controlled removal with intent to replace of serviceable repair parts from an equipment, as the expedient method of restoring another equipment to a serviceable condition. (CFTV)
At least you acknowledge 'robbing' as a repair procedure. We (the British Army) do this all the time, but we don't have an official term for it and when anyone important asks we pretend that it never happens. ???
