TIL my neighbor's sourdough starter came from a questionable source.
Found out it was taken from a bakery without permission, which feels wrong. Now I'm unsure if I should keep using it or start fresh.

Doubt the bakery cares about some old flour and water.

Have you ever actually BAKED anything? Old flour goes rancid and dead yeast won't make dough rise. That's like saying a builder wouldn't care about using rotten wood. The quality of those two things is literally the whole foundation. A real bakery cares DEEPLY about their ingredients because their name is on the door. Using old stuff makes garbage bread and loses customers.
