but if you borrowed the paper and took it to your apartment and read the tv sched. it be stealing.. seems like this guy took the stuff to office or home.

I did take it home. I had it in my possession for as much as ten minutes while I copied down what shows I wanted to watch. Do you really consider that stealing? Sure, had she gone looking for it while it was in my possession it surely would have quacked like stealing. I'd be hard pressed to prove I hadn't stolen it and I could legitimately been charged with stealing it. But as long as I returned it unharmed before she had need for it...

Here's another example. I recently took a doggy bag from Red Lobster. I wanted to take the lobster butter so I put the little dish with it in the clam shell they gave me as a doggy bag. A few days later when I went back, I returned the dish. Was that stealing?
