ORIGINAL: LadyPact Let's play a game.. Where is your wallet right now? how hard do you think it would be for me to take it from you? However i manage to do it... Maybe you were asleep. Whatever. I don't care. If I managed to take your wallet, would it only be REAL to you *IF* you reported it. Only if you went to the cops was it really gone. Whether you go to the cops or not, your wallet is still gone. That police report doesn't change anything. Reporting it or not reporting it doesn't change the fact that your wallet is GONE. Ten years from now, you'll still talk about it. How to replace your driver's license or your Social Security card. ATM, credit cards, etc. Did I only steal your wallet *IF* you went to the cops? The wallet is still gone, whether you walk into the police station or not. I'll play. I agree: whether I reported my wallet stolen all those years ago has no bearing on whether or not you stole my wallet. If I thought that the cops would sneer and jeer at me, and spit in my eye, and call me an irresponsible idiot for leaving it out in the open, and try to extract further funds from me for whatever reason, it makes reporting even more odious. If even recalling the details of such an intimate and violative pickpocketing experience causes me to break out in hives, I'm probably going to weigh the options and bury it. IF, however, years later I see you on the telly accepting an award, or being elected to some high office, etc, AND I think to myself "That's the bitch who stole my wallet from an Alaskan Flying J in 1991!" and I'd like to see some aspect of justice done, and wipe the stupid grin from your face, and let your supporters go from smiling and clapping to cringing and turning their backs, THEN I have a problem. Cake in the fridge or cake on the plate? Even if it's a shit-flavoured cake, that I never that I never asked for, I can only have it one way.
