how is this "stealing"? you lose it in a public place, it's fair game. if you get it back, you're lucky. if not, it's what you deserve for losing it in the first place.

The Vermont Statutes already make this provision and it has been held up through the supreme court. In one instance, a mother and father were forced to pay alimony to a gentleman who was suffering emotionally after he killed their kidnapped daughter. The law stated that he was a legal spouse of the mother upon taking custody of the daughter, and that the marriage was legally ended upon the death of the daughter.
