You would think wrong then. Well, I'll qualify that and say the police would
for sure make an arrest if there were witnesses. The DA might drop the
charges, but I wouldn't want to bet on it.

Let point to why I think you are wrong:

"In criminal law, theft is the illegal taking of another person's
property without that person's freely-given consent."

Note: NOT " another person's property." Therefore, Not Theft!

The boat wasn't on the street, it was in a locked, private, area.

Rob

No it wasn't. The area it was in was not fenced or locked. It was
behind the back row of a strip mall. That was one of my worries, that
the boat could be pilfered.

I wouldn't have had to break into anything to get it.


Then why the discussion about the bolt cutters and the lock??

Rob


Maybe 'hitch' is the wrong word. I think I should have said 'coupler'
lock. A padlock which prevented me from attaching the trailer to my
vehicle.



Still playing with the posers? I notice that folks who have been through
similar all say you did the right thing getting your boat, the ones who
have not are still speculating and scratching their asses, which of
course it what they would have been doing if it was their boat about
now..
