Bravo! Why is it that we've gotten into to thinking that if you can't get
caught, it's not stealing?
i.e.- find a wallet with name and address- if you keep it, or the money- it's
STEALING- the fact that someone lost it doesn't make it not theirs. If you
found money with no name, you'd probably be justified in keeping it, but maybe
you could TRY someway to find the owner. Then you get folks walking up and
trying to claim it, etc. which is also STEALING.

Cashier accidentally gives you too much change and you keep it- STEALING- it's
not your money she handed you- she handed you your change and some of hers, by
mistake.

Keep it up, Larry.

What if joe public (non-AFOL) found that site last night. Say he did not know if the deals were good or bad, and placed an order in good faith. Now he expects his items. Is that theft? Scott A (25 years ago, 30-Nov-99, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.market.shopping)
