Larceny: “carrying away of the personal goods of another from his or her possession with intent to convert them to the taker’s own use”

He paid $4000 for that gear, I heard him say it. A sizeable investment in thievery, say I.

To me, this man is a laughable nip barely above a pickpocket. Those with a pro “finders keepers” agenda will make the argument that he should keep what he finds. I say to them, he is actively seeking out other peoples goods to retain for profit.

The equivalent of this would be going into a lost and found and matter of factly taking all of it, while onlookers say nothing. In fact, he should look into that… it wouldn’t cost him 4 grand. But wait, society would take issue with that. Why do we allow this man roam free on the beaches of the world? Why, and how, is it justified and considered a “hobby”?

Knitting is a hobby, looting beaches is a crime. Plus, people will think you’re weird.
