Is it considered stealing if...?

anytime you take something that isn't yours or take something that you didn't pay for well then thats stealing no matter what the unusual circumstances are.  just because someone else broke the glass and started the robbery, you are still a accomplice cause you jumped in and took part.  it's called an accessory .....charged with possession of stolen property or maybe recieving stolen property.  any way you look at it...it would be smarter for you not to get involved with things of this nature.  try making better choices,  your future depends on it.  GOOD LUCK!

Do you mean that you stole $71.00? The question was worded so poorly that I couldn't tell. \n\nAssuming that I got it correctly, it would depend on who you stole it from (since embezzlement, shoplifting and robbery all carry different penalties)and where you live. So your question is useless.

No, and i think that would be classed as fraud in my view

I dont think that you should keep it, that is basically a nice form of stealing.  I think that you should track him down and give it back.

If someone steals something and sells it to you, pawns it if you are a pawnbroker, gives it to you etc. especially if you know it is stolen.

Theft by check is purposely writing hot checks and passing them off as being good. When you know you don't have any money in the bank. then you get the item that you wrote the check for.

Yes it is possible. It would be "theft of services" is you got caught.

I left everything at the company when I quit my job.  Anything I wanted, I made copies of before I left.  I didn't want to have to deal with anyone questioning whether I was "stealing" something that didn't belong to me.  It's not worth it.

Well, if the police or whatever finds out, you might be breaking the law cuz buying pirated goods is buying stolen stuff, and you might go ta jail. (i think.)

No....what a question. The "mail" isn't mail until it's in the mail box. Further, if the person doesn't do what was requested of him, it's not illegal....he's just a flaky friend.\n\nNow, if he took it and never mailed it, it could be considered theft (class of crime depending on value of the contents) but what proof do you have?\n\nLesson learned for your boyfriend, if you want something done right...do it yourself...

Stealing is taking something that doesn't belong to you.  Do the pens and paper belong to you?  No, they belong to the company.  So, yes, you are stealing.\n\nPeace.\n\nI just love the answers that say it's stealing but it's OK.  The same logic that all criminals use.  Everyone can justify their criminal behavior, whether it be stealing a pen, writing a check when you know there are not funds in the bank to larceny and murder.  Surprising how many people think it is OK for them but not for others who are condemned and sentenced to jail or even death, but for me, it's OK.  I do hope people will remember their own sins the next time they are answering a question like should we bring back hanging, or any death penalty option.  \n\nPeace.

No...it is copyright infringement....I would seek permission first....and then you can acually sell the permission...lol...and make a profit.\n\nCopyrights are very easy to obtain...and there is not always a record of it. BE CAREFUL.

Yes this is called theft of services. Unless a wireless network is specifically designated as free public access internet service then you can theoretically be prosecuted.

depends on how much he stole...no no...I'm joking...of course you have to go to the police...otherwise you'll be an accessory to the crime...I know tough break.
