If its Kicky's Kittie and had proper tag, you'd be stealing his property and be committing a theft or destruction of property or whatever. So you can get time for that. Then, Kicky can sue you big time in a civil court for emotional distress and related damages and you'd be broke. Thats not enough for you?
Yeah, I thought about getting every detail square. So let me revise. Kicky's kitty escapes and some little kid takes the tag off it without thinking. The kitty is not microchipped. So when I find it, it's just a lost kitty. Yeah, I could surmise it's not a wild cat--well groomed, not afraid of me, clearly domesticated--but by the letter of the law it's a cat without tags that as far as I know was not someone's property. And just to finish the story right, I coincidentally was torturing it in the alley behind his house that I walked to from the dirty 7/11 where I found it. He saw me cackling in its death throes. I shrugged I didn't know it was his, there were no tags or microchip, it didn't occur on his property, and I was just disobeying a law that costs 1,000 to make right.
