VoR is of course right that ALL theft is wrong...
I am sure people were just looking at it from a specific archaeologists viewpoint..
However.. returning to the point... Unless you are sure that this hypothetical person will re-offend... then you are presenting a guilty verdict of a crime that has not happened.
I he/she has been punished... is that enough? or should you ensure that this person can't work in archaeology again? and then , as you have taken away the thing they obviously like, they start to seriously offend... The question should be... do you know they can't be trusted... if you could be wrong.. then the effect is catastrophic.
