Arguably.
In this case, In a store where everything is for sale the items lying around all have a monetary value.
Put my wallet case aside for a second. Say Lior was shortchanged $5 which he watches the cashier slip into his pocket. Can he tiptoe around the cashier and pull his $5 out?
Can he take a different $5 from the cashier’s pocket?
I think most would agree Lior can do both and there is no need to “go to courts”
Do you disagree? Does anybody?
Taking a different item, say the cashier’s sunglasses that Lior estimates at $5 is trickier. So we can leave that aside.
Now in a store, say he watches the cashier slip the $5 into the register.
Can he take his $5 back out?
Can he take a different $5 bill out?
So far it is no different than the above. The only scenario that could be different is if the cashier is ripping of Lior and Lior is taking money “back” from the storeowner. I am assuming that isnt the discussion at hand (Either the cashier is the storeowner or the cashier seems to have made an honest mistake and isnt pocketing the disputed $5)
Again I assume we agree that Lior can take his $5 back from the register or a different $5.
Do you disagree? Does anybody?
Now in a store i would argue that Lior can take the sunglasses that have a $5 sticker on them. There is no estimation of value that is the value that the storeowner is assigning the sunglasses. Lior IS taking $5 back
Do you disagree?
