Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

Physical propertyI'm not sure that there has to be anything physical to steal for there to be some legal problems - even if the letter of the law is limited to medium-sized solid objects, there're other areas of the law that aren't. For example, there could be a claim that you're passing yourself of as someone else dishonestly to claim that to which you know you have no entitlement, and that looks a bit like fraud. (I have in mind here examples of people whose bank accounts have accidentally been credited with thousands of pounds which they have spent, knowing that there was no possible way it was theirs, and who have then been prosecuted.) I think there was something on wi-fi theft on the news not long ago: it might be worth trawling the BBC news site.
I'll also ask a few of my lawyer colleagues here, though, with it being a Friday, the chance of any of them being in the office is slim...
