To Catch a Petty Thief

This is old news, but interesting.

The Agitator » Blog Archive » To Catch a Petty Thief:

"Police in New York City are leaving baited wallets and purses around the city, then arresting people who pick them up and walk by a police officer without turning them over. If the wallet or purse contains a credit card, the thief/possible-good-Samaritan could get four years in state prison. Never mind that walking past a police officer with found property isn’t even a crime."
