You could grab something and get away unnoticed.
You could get pinched and charged with your crime + someone else’s.
You could get shot in the face by an angry owner.
I’d keep walking.
You would probably be arrested on suspecion of looting if there’s no reason for you to be in that store.
Just because someone else has already broken into the place doesn’t make it “fair game”.
That stuff is still not yours. Ethically, you shouldn’t take anything.
If it’s safe to do so, you should report the break-in. Otherwise just move on and mind your own business.
As you said, getting shot is the worst case scenario. A second-worst case is that you get blamed for the entire break-in.
Best-case scenario is you get something for free. But honestly, the risk isn’t worth the benefit.
Don’t know which country you’re in but look up the London riots in the UK in 2011.
Places had been ransacked, stores destroyed but the police took no prisoners. People had literally walked up and taken an ice cream out of a destroyed fridge and were charged with looting.
TLDR stealing is still stealing.
What would you do if you came across a woman who’d just been raped?
Straight to jail. Not going in? Believe it or not, jail.
You could avoid all of these possible issues if you consider “not stealing” – easy!
“It’s ok officer, she’s been raped before”…
If theres no sign and the door is open you probably wont get charged with anything. It depends on the state laws. However if you take something you are stealing. That’s a no no.
So what happens if you steal something from a shop?? Really, did you need to ask?? How old are you?
Legally, stay away! If you walk in, that’s still breaking an entry. If you take something, that’s stealing. Cameras will capture this and you could be prosecuted for it. This may be BAIT.
STAY AWAY. DO NOT FALL FOR THE TRAP.
Just keep walking 🚶 not your business
I wouldn’t even call it in, then you’ll be questioned
“I never do it because obviously there’s cameras and they’re might not be any cash to take but theres definitely things that aren’t nailed down.”
You shouldn’t do it because it’s a fucked up thing to do. Don’t be a piece of shit just because someone else has.
Charged with “Also Trespassing in the Second Degree”
Are you an idiot?
