    I believe it’s a reasonable thing morally to do. Maybe not smart. Not going to argue it’s the best idea. But, reasonable moral thing to do.

    There’s games with offline accounts, pictures that don’t sync properly – age of a phone is not the only thing that matters.

    I don’t think insurance is a bad idea to have, I think the standpoint that insurance should be the only recourse is what’s bad

    Yes, police will do nothing.

      But, reasonable moral thing to do.

      We frankly are just going to continue to disagree on that point. Say you punch the assailant and they go down in one blow, cracking their head on the pavement and dying. Did they really deserve a death penalty for petty theft? An extrajudicial death penalty no less. I don’t think so. Thus, I don’t think it’s reasonably moral to risk it.

        The difference could lie in the viewpoint that I believe it is their fault in that case. Deserve? No, absolutely not, but I would see it as suicide, rather than an extra judicial punishment. Like falling off a cliff when rock climbing, it’s a risk they took when stealing.

          The difference is the rock climbing involves an inanimate object, the rock face. You are a thinking being that can make decisions and are choosing to risk their life over a petty crime.
