If you take this sign, is it actually theft or just following instructions?

[AviatorTom]

Here's a logic problem for a Friday.

If you take this sign and get arrested for theft, when you appear in court, would it be a legitimate defense that it's not theft, you were simply following instructions?

If you were on the Jury, how would you vote?

[OlderAndWiser]

The sign is not an instruction to remove it. And it is not your business to remove the sign just because you see it as a logical challenge or clever twist of irony. Sorry, Tom, but if I'm on the jury, you're gonna spend some time in the big house!

Tom say WHAT?

The photo I posted is a gif and the guy starts laughing his ass off, but it posted as a still!

I would write ✍🏼 on there with a big black marker "Except for This One"!!

[AviatorTom]

@sage2021 @sage2021 is wise... and very logical

[sage2021]

Kinda like a sage huh? 🙂

[AviatorTom]

@sage2021 👍

[sage2021]

Thank you for the MHO 🙂

It isn't yours so it is still theft that make it a crime. Just because it says that and it is a sign indicating it's own criminality, it's not gonna swing for the "two wrongs making it right" defence.

The sign is simply posted on the authority of who owns the property that wishes to not have any other sign posted. It doesn’t mean that the owners sign is the issue.

[molonski2]

Mixed feelings.

But I love the sign , I'm going to make one the TEMU , technically the sign should be left alone.

[andreasderjuengere]

Well...

[andreasderjuengere]

I'm not 'here' to correct things.
I only think on my own behalf

[Ill_made_Knight]

Nah, leave it be. pointless spanking the hornet's nest

[OneViewpoint]

The fucker who put up that sign has a tenuous grasp of irony.

[purplepoppy]

If I see a car parked under a no parking sign I can't just drive it offj

[Ill_made_Knight]

Need hotwiring lessons I take it?

[Calyptomaniac]

Death penalty, absolutely. These are the serious crimes the legal system exists for.

[KostasKouvalis]

Yeah, because it's still they're property. It's THEIR job to police their property

[Anonymous]

How we do know the sign was put there by the proper owner/authority?

[Staximus]

I’m stealing that sign and hanging it in my garage

[AgentG111]

If you remove something from private property without permission that's theft.
