It may be bold, but it is not a crime. technically removing the dollar is a crime regardless of your intention.
Even that depends where you are - in England & Wales you wouldn't be guilty of theft as defined by the 1968 Theft Act: "a person is guilty of theft if: he dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it." So in that case the intent is very relevant. -robin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
