About the stealing:
Let's say that Z took something out of A's purse without her knowledge, stuck it in her (Z's) pocket.
Is it possible that Z meant it as a joke? Thinking A would look in her purse and go, "Oh no! Where's my (fill in the blank)???" and Z would then pull it out of her pocket and go, "Ha!"
So that's the question - is it possible that Z took A's belonging as a joke?

It is possible Z didn't mean any ill harm, but Z not recognizing it to be a bad move does not make it any less of a bad move on Z's part. Guilty as charged.vraiblonde said:Okay, so we have stealing, and we have lying. So we can agree on common English terms for these acts.
