    Stealing is such a harsh word. How do you steal something that someone
    doesn't even use and is considered left-over? Would it be stealing if
    somebody paid for his dinner, ate everything but the dinner roll, and
    then left the restaurant to go home and as I carried the plate to the
    trash I took a bite of the left-over dinner roll??? Kinda gross, huh??

    Hey here is a good one... Someone buys a newspaper and does half of the
    crossword puzzle and then leaves the paper on the chair. I pick it up
    and finish it. Did I steal the paper? Should I pay royalties to the
    newspaper publisher?

    This is fun...
