You're just plain wrong. Theft is theft. The actual crime varies [the three related crimes are larceny, robbery and burglary], but it is still a crime. Larceny is simply taking stuff and can be a misdimeanor or a felony depending on the circumstances [all this is from the VA code -- YMMV]; robbery is taking stuff by force; burglary is taking stuff by breaking and entering. The question of _civil_ liability [and whether you'd have trouble collecting on your insurance] is wholly irrelevant to the question of whether the act is illegal or not [which it is]. /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <-- -- ---------------------------------------- WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html Contact the List Owner about anything: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html
