Two men go to rob a bank, one goes in with a gun while the other waits in the car with the engine running. The man in the bank pulls out his gun and says, "Get on the floor, this is a hold up!" He is quickly overwhelmed. What does the man in the car do? He drives off like nothing happened.

Now you want to say that the man with the gun never actually stole anything, and you want to parse his words in such a way as to deny that there was ever any intent to rob the bank in the first place. You further claim that everyone else is stealing money, why can't he?

Meanwhile the getaway driver gets to claim plausible deniability, and you want to blame him for the whole thing going wrong because he didn't go into the bank with guns blazing to help his partner out.

Good luck with all that.
