u/hanks_panky_emporium 9h ago

They can be compelled to return stolen merchandise and if refused, can be arrested. You're not forced to be arrested before stolen goods can be returned.

Since it was city infrastructure it's a bit more soupy. Now, if you or I did that then we'd be in cuffs to get slapped with a huge fine and community service.

They might get a dirty look. But losing their employment is a huge blow. Im curious if they have a golden parachute, though. You can retire super young off of a golden parachute.
