Is this considered stealing?

Mom of 2

Yes it's stealing. You gave it to them so it now belongs to them. Taking it without permission is stealing.

brad_sr0138

yes....thief!

stephy

Yes you did steal. When you gave your possession away it was no longer lawfully yours.
The person could take you to court over the situation, or even go as far as calling the cops. Although I doubt the person would call the cops over some cards.

fearless

Probably so. |:
Sorry to say, but you gave it away and then asked for it back.
But then took it anyways.

AJ Franklin

Yes. You transferred ownership by your own admission and it became theirs.

Give it back.

floodtheearth

Yeah, that's still theft. I mean, legally it would be, and ethically it is. Sorry.

John S

if you made it known that's it a loan, he MUST give it back.

if you gave someone a gift, it's gone.

mykes_

yeah, it's stealing.

GEEGEE

Yes, since when you gave them the cards, ownership transfered to them. So if you take them without permission, it is in fact stealing.

blah

yes it is still stealing. Once you gave it to them, it was no longer yours

lucyliang95

in a way, yes because you gave it to someone and now it is in their possession

oldmarine08

It's stealing, no matter how you spin it!

DarkQ

Yes it is.

"Indian-giver" was the term when I grew up.

A gift you gave is now his/her property. They have no obligation to give it back and taking it would be stealing.

Who

You answered your own question. You "gave it to them under you own free will". After that point it IS theirs. It is no longer "rightfully yours". And" stealing is "taking something that is not rightfully yours," If you take it without their permission it is stealing.

katieguth95

technically it was theirs now so you took their property! so yes it is considered stealing

It's stealing. Imagine if it was the other way around, if someone gave you something then took it back. Would you feel someone was stealin from you?. If you gave it away, it no longer belongs to you.

Tundra21999

If you gave it and the recipient was clear it was theirs to keep, then it's stealing

theutd11

I think the key word would be "belongED". Even if it was with the generosity from your heart, i think it is theirs once you actually hand it over to them. Sorry, but i would call that stealing.

lalo_56

Yes, its considered stealing. At the time you gave it to the other person that good/s are no longer yours.

Indian giver!

tjbro

Don't fool yourself. It's stealing.

where is everybody?

it's immature

Tim E

That is deffinatly stealing

saraparker

Yes. It became THEIR property when you gifted them with it.

Michael

yes but u can have it back if the guy doesnt refuse

Jonny

Yes, it's stealing.

If you lent them to him and wanted them back, then It would'nt.

But as you GAVE them to him. They're not exactly your's are they?

If its only cards. Why is it such a problem?

Ã—ÂºShAlOmÂºÃ—

Yes, that is stealing. When you gave it to them, it became their "pack of cards" and is no longer yours. Therefore, taking it back from them is stealing the item.

emjay

yes it is stealing. You gave them to this person and when you did so it was a gift and was no longer yours from that point. If you took it back without permission it is stealing.

mel

why not just buy new cards?? and if you gave it as a gift technically i believe it belongs to the other person now

grindengh

It's stealing. Ownership is transferred when you gave them the cards.

If you let them BORROW something and then you decided they had borrowed it long enough and then took it back you would be correct. This doesn't sound like the case here.

spaceytracey3

Yes that is stealing. You gave it to the other person, which made the deck of cards theirs. So in turn you stole their deck of cards.

njmurphy

in the uk, it wouldnt be in the eyes of law. but morally i would say it was stealing.
