So you are advocating theft as a victimless crime then, HB and Gog, as 'it's all insured' [sic]. Can you let me have your home addresses and I'll be round to collect the loot with my swagbag. Or maybe I'll just help myself to an EDM and a set of tools from the office tomorrow morning?
Isn't all theft beyond the pale?
Fine - I was trying to rein in my gut instinct which would be to have a zero tolerance policy for anyone convicted of any crime whatsoever. I was actually expecting a torrent of abuse for even suggesting that artefact thieves should be shown the door, but I clearly didn't go far enough for some people.
The insurance bit was of course tongue in cheek, and every theft is a tragedy - are you mocking my grammar with your (sic) insertion, by the way?
