I mean, you could steal a syringe, sure, but: Why would you do so, if you have little knowledge of what to use it with or for? "I don't really know what to do with this, why should I take that and not this thing instead?".

Sure, everyone knows you inject things in people with them. And that's about the most common knowledge. And it's unlikely for even modern pirates to have a decent doctor who would know more, at least one more willing to help than to run away at the soonest oportunity.

Anyway, my point is, just because you can steal something, it doesn't mean you would be inclined to do so.
