Probably $500 worth of ingredients had to be discarded. At current prices, that’s two heads of lettuce and a bag of carrots.

There are other forms of theft, legally speaking. Theft by deception and theft by conversion, for two.

Lots of other examples around: the much more common wage theft, for example, involves no actually tell tale loss of property or the snatching away of the money substances.

Keeping a rental car would be an example of a theft where the taking isn’t part of the crime. I think they are drawing that general distinction.

Disappointed. I was expecting a ton of lettuce dad jokes.

Oh, they’re there, all right. It’s just hard to notice them when 90% of them are hidden below the surface.
