Just a thought ...

I was watching the news tonight and it was describing a bank robbery. What caught my attention was the newscaster stating that the man used a non-threatening note to obtain the money. What did the note say I wonder. And was it really a robbery?
Think about it.
If I walk into a bank, hand the teller a note that read:
"Can I have all the money in your till please?"
And she gave it to me, and I left, is that really theft? I simply asked, and she gave it. I did not threaten any harm or even tell her to do it. I made a polite request, which she granted.
"Yeah but the money wasn't yours." True, but when we ask for things, it is rarely for what is already ours. Does this mean I have to give back all the gifts I have asked for and received over the years? As far as I know there is no law against asking for money. That would put churches, politicians, charities, and all the other pan handlers out of business.
Really, I think the only thing they could get me for would be receiving stolen merchandise. (Since the money given to me by the teller was not hers to give and we would both know that.) Although money is not merchandise, I am sure there is some connection there. But theft, no. Sorry, I don't think the DA would have a case. I bet there a few lawyers out there that would agree with me. Or at least try to use my theory.
I don't recommend anyone test my theory, but I would love to know peoples opinions on it. Ask around, see what people think. Just a thought.
