FAQs

What policy tool is implied here besides punishment?

Restitution—returning the item to the right party can resolve the matter when a plausible lawful basis of possession is asserted.

Why list multiple categories (borrowed, bought, deposit, wages)?

To standardize administratively recognized claims of possession and guide investigators/judges on common lawful explanations.
