Is it stealing... [View All]

[CTLawGuy]

if someone gives you something willingly, even if it doesn't seem to be in their best interest to do so?

EX 1. Your buddy who works as a bartender gives you a free drink at his bar.

EX 2. Your friend lets you borrow his CD for an indeterminate amount of time and forgets to ask for it back.

EX 3. A waitress misinterprets your order for chili fries and brings you chicken tenders. She lets you keep the chicken tenders without charge and brings you your chili fries.

TO BE CLEAR: I am NOT asking whether keeping any of these items in these examples is MORALLY RIGHT,

I AM asking whether keeping those items is STEALING.
