Originally posted by sigma: If someone puts something in your bag and you walk off with it, did you 'steal' it? Simply receiving something is not theft. Knowingly using something that you know isn't yours would be. If I find said item in my bag and can reasonably assume that my wife put it there for me to find, did I 'steal' it?
don't know about where you live, but posession of stolen property is illegal here in MI, if you knew it was stolen or not.
Should have clarified. I put "steal" in quotes for a reason, because, yes, that technically is stealing even if you had no idea that you were.
