Apparently it happened a couple of months ago, so presumably we don't need
to guess.

" The Reno police department has told krnv that Brossert will faces
charges for theft if the store owner files a police report of what happened. "

Since it's a civil matter that figures. It's down to the store owner.

"Charges of theft" is not a civil matter.

Without a theft being reported, where's the crime ?

Do you think the news piece being BROADCAST was something other than a
"report", idiot?

What was broadcast was a video showing a guy *taking* a flag.

It's not *THEFT* until it's shown that it wasn't his legally to take.

You're a goddamned retard.

Despite all the times I have ever said this, you have now confirmed it
completely as fact.

YOU'RE the one who doesn't understand the legal requirements for a charge of theft it
would seem.

No, dumb donkey, you refuse to understand that a theft is the
taking of property, not the reporting of that theft.

As long as it's *someone else's* property (and taken without consent), dimwit !

*DUMB* donkey! Are you trying to compete with Dimbulb?

The guy cutting the flag down could have been arrested on *suspicion* of theft, but
without clear proof the flag belonged to someone else, the case would fail.

Wrong. It's unlikely anyone would prosecute without a police
report, but that's an administrative issue not a legal one.

Proof of ownership of the item in question is required.

Nope. It makes for a better case if the owner comes forward, but
it's *not* necessary to convict.
