I've heard it before, there was this guy that did a flit after his company card bounced. On a £300 lunch.

I heard something similar
There was this £300 lunch and the bloke paying for it found that his card had been declined so he fucked off.

from a criminal law perspective
it's only theft if you decide to do a runner AFTER you've eaten, and not before. if it's before, you lack IPD.

No idea. But this one time, I heard about this bloke who was unable to settle a lunch bill.

intention to permanently deprive
it's a key component in theft.

of course, good luck convincing the court of WHEN you formed it.

"no, honestly, i didn't decide to nick it until after i'd eaten it. i really meant to pay when i sat down..."

I can imagine that had I been there I would have wrung my hands in righteous indignation.

You'd have been fucking livid, Al. Hand wringing be damned.
