Is This Stealing?

[Scranton]

hey I put a dollar in the coke machine at work this week. It had a gastric attack and shat out over thirty cans at me for a dollar. I now have a locker full of coke. Is this stealing?
Personally I think if it took my money Im entitled to what ever it gave me. Which at the time was a shit load of coke for a dollar

How many times have you put a dollar in and got nothing?

I think you had a lucky streak and should've went gambling!

keep that shit. there's no real way of gettin' that coke back to it's original place. you made the wise choice. rejoice, and be glad in your fortune.

In the eyes of the law, it's theft, pure 'n simple.

Morally, there's no problem.

Against the law? Show me in the law books where it says that... I want to see it verbatim... Come on guy back it up...:D

Under U.K. law, Marie, that is entirely true. I'll look it up later and scan it in. Just because the machine spits it out, doesn't mean it belongs to anybody other than the company which owns the machine.

I believe it. But it's still a bunch of crap. Just like if you found a $1000, you're supposed to turn it in, and if nobody claims it, blah, blah, blah...and if you're lucky, you "might" get it back. But, most likely you wouldn't. Well, I guess it depends on the item anyway. Morally, it would be cool to lose a grand and someone turn it in, but chances of that are so slim. Anyway, A soda company can handle it. I think I got way off there somewhere...Excuse me, I just woke up. I think we got the point.
