Theft requires intent, so if it wasn't intentional, it wasn't theft by definition (legal or otherwise).
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoWha? Taking someone else's property and walking off with it, is pretty intentional. No way that was an accident, or done without knowing what they were doing.
- MOARDONGZPLZ 10y agoMaybe, but that's not what I said. I said taking something unintentionally is not theft, because theft requires intent. I didn't say anything about the specific situation.
- gargravarr 10y agoYou're right, my bad. Perhaps I should say 'Intentional or not, it should be treated as theft'
