“Just trying to get the rules straight.”

Stealing from a ‘bait’ truck is most definitely still stealing and a crime. I’m not a Christian but from what I have read I believe Jesus would consider those baiting a crime that didn’t exist intentionally are just as guilty as the thieves.

Consider me devil’s advocate if you want, but just trying to look at this from another perspective.

Well, it's certainly worth pondering. Police pose on-line as willing underage girls to lure pedophiles. I don't think I would consider the police equally as guilty. They would be offering an opportunity for a criminal to engage in an illegal activity where a case can be made to prosecute. How do you view drug stings and the like?
