And only if the corporation is big enough. Don't steal from your local corner store.
And also, don't steal for profit.
I work at a hardware store, and if you steal some small shit like a file/screwdriver/whatever, you're good. If I see you stealing 5k in light fixtures, tools, and batteries, I'll get my bonus thank you very much.
Corporation by definition is a large company or group of companies.
I would class my local corner shop as stealing from people, as in it’s an individual or families livelihood.
I agree on not taking the piss though and stealing £5k in light fixtures. If only corporations would have such limitations in their theft.
Not sure which definition you mean here. Anyone can incorporate. Your corporation could have a single shareholder and a single employee.
I fully agree, some people just need the extra clarification though
At the store I'm at it's handled pretty nice, we won't stop anyone under a very low amount (single digit €) and above that it's very dependent on your behaviour + how much you tried to steal, so you might just have to pay a 50€ fine without police involvement.
