See if any of you can answer these.


1. Terry, a great chocoholic goes to Tesco and selects £9.50 worth of mars bars from the confectionary display. He queues at the checkout, however the queues are huge and he decides he is in a hurry, walks to the front of the queue, leaves £10 on the till and walks out of the shop. He does not speak to the checkout operator who only notices him as he leaves the building. In these circumstances is Terry guilty of theft?

A) Yes – even the willingness to pay for the chocolate does not negate liability for the offence.

B) Yes – he dishonestly appropriates the chocolate when he walks past the checkout.

C) No – he has not appropriated the chocolate within the meaning of the theft Act 1968

D) No – he has not acted dishonestly in these circumstances.


2. Belldandy, a local mischievous miscreant decides to go for an afternoon shoplifting session. He walks into his local supermarket with the intention of stealing a bottle of Toilet Duck to go with his dinner. He locates said item, removes it from the shelf and discreetly slips it into his purple flairs. He then quietly struts out whilst combing his quaff.

At what point does Bell commit theft?

A) When he enters the supermarket.
B) When he lifts the bottle off the shelf.
C) When he hides the bottle.
D) When he struts out of the shop without paying.

Go on, give em a go.

It's right though. I see more police on duty in the town I live in that when I go to Nottingham, we have plenty of speed cameras though in Nottingham. There was a repeated program on last week following Notts police, and it made hilarious viewing, unless you lived in Nottingham of course :P

Comments like that make me angry. And when I get angry, I need to spin around on my computer chair until I fall off to calm me down!

Yeah he knows one of them. Total dick head.
There was no reason at all for it, he was just walking home, they were following, and they just started on him.

Sounds nasty.

You said he knows them? Does he have any idea why they did it? Other then being dumb.

There is no such thing as a mugging, it's called street robbery, but it is basically a mugging.
