You've been stealing from us.
Thus far you don't know we know.
A friend suggests that we lay traps for you so we can be 100% sure, but I think this would be a little mean and sneaky.
(You do realise that as little as 200 years ago what you've done could have got you hung or transported to Australia? Let no-one deny that we've made some progress in this modern era of ours!)
I have reviewed the options- and come to the conclusion that the least destructive one is to go on pretending we don't know, while doing what we can to ensure you aren't tempted again.
A mitigating circumstance is that you're hard up and we're not- and all property is theft, innit!
The lest of your offences is that you've taken things.
It's worse that you've destroyed our trust.
And the worst thing of all is that you've given us power over you- and I really don't want it.
