Stealing is only illegal if you get caught

[TheDeerAssociation :3]

I’m not wrong

[Krypto]

You're still wrong.

[MinionJoe]

No, it's still illegal.

And you can be "caught" for it up until the statute of limitations.

(Or, in Trump's case, the statute of limitations plus one year.)

So if your going 75 in 55 your not speeding unless you were caught?

Yep

No. Stealing is still illegal. It's like saying that murder isn't illegal. You'll grow wiser one day.

[Chaosolous]

No, it's only punishable if you're caught.

It's illegal always.

I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate thieves, almost as much as liars.

I will simply say: Follow the law, do as you're told and be a good person.

I'd add the caveat of only following the laws that are enforceable.

Removing mattress tags may be illegal, but it's still the morally correct thing to do.

[AdahnGorion]

No stealing is illigal even if you don´t get caugh, but you obviously can´t be punished for breaking laws, that are not found out.

[Mauserich]

No, stealing is always illegal. There is only one exception: If you are really starving, you will not be penalised (at least in our country). In all other cases, you will be penalised depending on the severity of the theft and the national law.

[Krypto]

The law exists for a reason. Just because you didn't get caught does not mean a law was
not broken by you personally. Morals do not apply here.

In many countries and states it also stops being stealing in certain cases of extreme emergency, like say extreme flooding and power outages, then it becomes scavenging.

Morals do not override law.

Morals and laws are two completely separate sets of behavioral guidelines.
