Reminds me of the joke about 2 Irishmen in a Chinese restaurant.
They paid for the meal and tried to sneak out without eating it!

///Dishonest appropriation of property, belonging to another with the permanent intention of depriving the other of it'///
This is an English definition of theft which can not be quoted with reference to the laws of Italy.

Stealing bread used to get you a one way ticket to Australia.

I wish it still did, as I would leg it down to Londis now.

Danny theft is law not legislation, the definition is international and just translated into each country
