your arguing semantics. the guy is making the claim he did not INTEND TO STEAL. Of course picking up anything and walking with it, by paying or not, is intending to take.Your error was in assuming something was free for the taking just because it was sitting there.
You INTENTIONALLY took the pack of gum.
You are confused on the meaning of "intent" in this context.
Again, if he feels that maybe 10% of the average population or more would make the same mistake seeing the box, bring it to court and test it out. If you think noone would make the same mistake after seeing the box then your toast... all thieves that are caught could claim they thought it was a give-a-way.
You Are Guilty, too much $$$.
