ASCENSION PARISH - Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in identifying a suspect wanted for theft in a convenience store on August 19. Surveillance video shows the suspect stealing a wallet unknowingly left by the victim from the counter of Rende's convenience store located at Highway 44 and Highway 621. Anyone with information is urged to contact APSO or Greater Baton Rouge Crime Stoppers.


I’m torn. I don’t think what he did was “stealing” but he sure is an a-hole. The owner left it there by being careless. The guy who then took it shouldn’t go to jail or have charges pressed against him in my opinion. Should he have given it back? Absolutely. But stealing? Nah, I’m not convinced that’s stealing.

Stealing is the act of taking something that’s not yours. It’s totally stealing.

Is this really news. How connected is the guy who left his wallet to get this stupid shite on the news?

TDs, just anonymously give the wallet back and I'm sure you will be fine.

What should I do with a random $20 I find in a parking lot?

If the guy was right there when the wallet was left behind and chose not to tell the owner that he left it, then that’s stealing.

Are you trying to fill the void that Coyote left or something?

Your threads have been getting dumber by the day.

And don't you have kids man? How TF is this not stealing? That wallet doesn't belong to him. Your poor kids if you think this isn't stealing.

Dude subscribes to the “finders keepers” ideology. What’s the big deal? Some people like cucumbers pickled.

The gas station across 621 from Rende's is the GOAT. Some good ol baws in there. Good hot food too.

so you're saying that taking something that doesn't belong to you is not stealing if it's easy to take?

Obviously I’m in the minority then. I was walking out of Lowe’s a week ago and found a $20 bill on the ground. Obviously I picked it up. I guess I’m guilty of stealing it then?
