True, you cannot control their actions, but you CAN take steps to help prevent things from being stolen and misused to begin with. This is why there are laws like the attractive nuisance doctrine to help keep children out of constructions sites, etc. If you leave a loaded gun lying around (on your own property or otherwise) and someone takes it and commits murder with it, you would probably be guily of ordinary or gross negligence. There is something called "degree of care" that proves that you ARE in fact responsible, even if it's not directly your fault. -Justin Scott ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
