What is theft? Has Blacksheep ever taken a pen from work and used it at home? If I a person is given too much change, say for a twenty pound note instead of a tenner, would you keep the change if it was a supermarket or have a different answer if it was a local shop? If you found a purse in the street with no name and address and fifty pounds in cash? or if you saw a numptie leave half their goods in the trolley, would you shout them back. Lady Freda went and put her trolley back, collected her £1 and in another trolley was a £15 egg, and no one else about! Now, would you still take the pen from work, because the same, it is still theft!

Theft is the dishonnest intent to permanantly deprive someone of something that you have no right to - something your better (snigger) half has done. As for pens at work they are provided for my use so there is no dishonnest intent if I were to take one, infact they provide pens, paper, pencils, diary's etc for us to take - so no that isn't theft. You're just seeming more and more like a piece of chav scum the longer you try and justify your misses who can't keep her greedy hands off something. One of the few qualities that seperates us from animals is being able to control our urges - something your family of animals seems unable to do.

freddie i might have brought the egg home - HOWEVER i would have called the store to let them know i had found it and if anyone came to claim it they should let me know so i could bring it in. It happened my mum before, she got a trolly and there was a bag in it with a brand new top from a nice store - so she told them. A few days later the person has rang the store and so she gave it back to its rightful owner.

They are provided for your use at work, but you would use them at home. Is that not theft? You would also take dairies, paper and pencils. As I have said, these are also theft.

Again I ask why you have to go into a tirade of name calling, when you have no evidence that I have stolen anything. Name calling is something that I will not do.

I would prefer if you were able to put this into a correct context here. In Maslow's hierarchical needs, you may find that all humans are in fact animals, and would scavenge if our basic needs are not met! I would assume that if you did not get a decent breakfast, whether you would be affected in your behaviour.

Again I will state

Ok, so the Best before date is 2 June 2008 and this thread would probably be long lost by then, if the rightfull owner of the Chocolate would tell me in a personal message what it is they were foolish enough to leave behind, when they did this and where, I will gladly give them their goods back!

If not, then I feel Lady Freda is going to enjoy them!

Yes freddie what a brilliant argument. Next time they catch someone who's kidnapped a child, im sure you wont look down on them anymore than your wife.

Because its all theft huh

JonnyH

Btw clearly in the future if someone steals the tv from your house then posts in a random subsection of a gigantic forum somewhere online that theyve done it without giving any details atall BUT will give it back if you read their post and give the right details. That will be perfectly fine to you.

It would also not atall be incredibly unlikely that you'll ever see that post, not atall. :rolleyes:

I appreciate you find this an interesting rambling, on the subject of the Easter Egg, but I cannot see the connection between redistributing a luxury of desire, with the taking and imprisonment of a child. Of course I would abhor such an action, and I am sure that others here would do so as well.

I would think that I was stupid enough in the first place to allow it to happen and I would not expect to have my goods retrieved, I would put in an insurance claim as quickly as possible. As for the loss of the oggle box, I would probably not miss it!

I think everyone here needs to have a reality check! Someone lost their easter eggs, someone else picked them up and took them home.

Not everything is black and white. Yes theft is bad, and wrong, but there are degrees of bad.

Freddie has not knocked off a bank, mugged an old lady for her Easter eggs or anything.

Same could be said of shoplifting and this is in exactly the same category, but I don't see anyone condoning that.

Just chill out a bit! Everyone loses things sometimes, what goes around comes around.

Treat people how you would like to be treated yourself -thats my theory.

That customer would have realised they were a bag missing and would have popped back to see if anyone handed it in. I used to work on customer service and 9 times out of 10 someone would hand in a found bag of shopping.

This world is very sad.
