There was a survey recently and apparently the UK is the worst nation in Europe for stealing from work.

623 - I don't know if the law in Scotland  is different from England but it is definitely NOT true that taking something that is not yours on public ground is not stealing. Firstly, a warehouse where people are employed is NOT public. Secondly, if you lost your wallet and it was found laying on the ground in the street, anyone who takes it and uses the contents IS STEALING.

An open lorry full of sweets waiting to be delivered is SOMES PROPERTY and if people help themselves from the lorry they are STEALING.

Bounty - there is no grey area - you were naughty but most people in your position would have done the same. However, most people would draw the line at robbing the back of a truckload of sweets.

I do feel bad about it.  But the box was open and I thought I could hear them calling me

By my calculations there were over 400,000 individual One by Ones in that warehouse and I had about nine or 10. 

The Needlers Turkish Delight were out of date since November 2004, because the Farmfoods they were destined for had closed down and it was redundant stock and apparently every man and his dog was eating them. Was that stealing?

Morally yes, but in pragmatic terms it was an acceptable requisition!

never say that out load in scotland or you get a mob after you!

Scottish law system is complaety differnet form english law!! we even had a thing called not provon where you instance BUT YET we can't provie it!

Also A spoken Debt is a cleared DEBT!

so get some one eles to enquire abou tht at debt if if debt colledcter speak about it it cleader !

In England, if you borrow money from an unlicensed money lender, the debts are not recoverable in law. However, they have their methods.

I doubt whether the law of theft differs much between England and Scotland. If you take something that is not yours, whatever the law says, it is morally theft.

I wonder if Gordon Brown will force England to adopt Scottish law when he "succeeds" Tony Blair...

Personally I don't see the harm in that, as surely they could only be thrown out anyway.

[Forth Bridges]

but still ther a stuped carkpot law about taking thing from Public land or PLC

I go and route it out and show !

NOTE: there is a lot of diffrent law between scotland & England

[lemoneye]

Indeed. In England for example we do not have a Procurator Fiscal. He/She was a thorn in my side in my old job... Ah... happy days...

So not only are you a thief but you have voices in your head too.
