Attention Bank Robbers
Jewel thieves
Car jackers
.
Keep doing what you are doing
Should you get caught red handed
You can use metaphysical science
And presidential precedent to plea
Not guilty
Just surround yourself with enough
Noodniks, lawyers and hangers-on
To make your innocence case for you
On the inferred suggestion intimated
That hints you may share the booty
Or perhaps get to drive the stolen car
Or wear the shiny diamond for a time
Play with the “power and prestige”
Even though it was ill gotten gain
If as they say you can’t take it with you
Which seemingly applies to everyone
Therefore no one “owns” anything, right?
Henceforth making it impossible to steal
Besides that, all you would have to do is
Make them “define” “money” should you
Have duffle bags full of what was “stolen”
Prosecutor: you were caught with 2m worth of cash in your bags
Defendant: those are just rectangular pieces of cloth with ink on them
Prosecutor: they have value assigned to them by the treasury
Defendant: still regardless, how the cloth is printed, costs are the same
Prosecutor: yes, but society has agreed these have values of exchange
Defendant: understood, however the insurance will replace it therefore it is like it was never missing.

Judge : You have a point. Not Guilty.
