Ok. I just saw a vid on yahoo news. A man was in his basement when he hears a A big bang upstairs. He tip toes up his basement stairs and peers under the door. To his suprise he's being robbed. they are trying to take hs flat screen, jewlery and even his sons tricycle. so he sneeks outside his own home and gets in there getaway car. A white van which the robbers left running and unlocked. He takes off. Calls 911 and tell the operator what had happened. the opeerator tells him he had better stop b/c he can now be charged with auto theft b/c he stole there car. so he stops and the robbers not knowing what was going one when they left the house dropped all his items and ran.
So the question is. Should this be illegal. You are being robbed. Not only is someone trying to take your items you worked so hard to get and provide to your family. but these people are trespassing on your property. And you decide that you're going to take matters into your own hands. b/c you knwo the cops either won't ever catch these guys or it will simply take them to long to get there and help. So you take there get-a-way car.
Should the police be able to charge YOU with theft for taking the robbers car?
