Is throwing someone's shirt in the bin a crime?

[GTPskills]

Just wondering...

Depends on where you're from - and several other circumstances.

If you're from the UK, it's an offence to take someone's property with the intent to permanently deprive them of it - so binning it after stealing it would qualify. Whether it's a crime depends on whether you get caught and charged with it or not.

My friend got it back, the bin was empty... would it still be a crime then?

 

[Famine]

The keyword is "intent". If whomever put it in the bin intended them to not get it back, it's still an offence.

This is one of the randommmest threads in recent memory.

Depends on the shirt.

Some deserve it.

 

[Wiegert]

What's worse? Committing a crime by binning someone else's perfectly good shirt, or averting a crime against fashion by binning the sort of shirt Eddie Jordan would normally wear?

If it's the former, then oh dear.

 

[Liquid]

Yes.

You're going to jail. Bye.

I saw a filthy shirt and put it in the laundry bin. Sorry. Gosh!

God forbid it loses its slovenly patina.

 

[Robin]

Yeah, depends if the shirt itself was a crime against fashion

...but seriously it is immoral to treat peoples property like that.

I feel like if you called your local police station/constabulary/Sheriff's Department/State Trooper Post/Caribineri office; They would laugh at you.

"May I help you?"
"I'd like to report a crime?"
"What happened?"
"My friend got his shirt thrown in a bin"
"Where is it now?"
"Oh, my friend got it back"

"He hung up on me right before I told him the bin was full of heroin needles and cocaine."

This is made so much better purely because of dexter's face:tup:

What kind of bin was it? I'd rather have my shirt thrown in a garbage bin than a recycling bin. Recycling bins are always sticky.
