We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

It's pretty simple. You need intent to permanently deprive to be theft, and there's little chance they can nail down anybody with that intent in that case. They're not out to make you whole, they're out to arrest people. Even if they could make a criminal case, you'd have to go through the civil courts to get restitution. Since it's not a situation where they can realistically make an arrest, your only options are civil.
