lost football
sensible answers only !! and no moralising on the rights on wrongs of kids playing football.
My grandson (11) and a couple of friends were playing football on a green area not in the street, when they managed to kick the ball over a fence, as you do, and lets be honest most of us did us kids.
From what i gather it was the 1st time it happened its not like a regular occurance, the woman is refusing to give the ball back, does this count as theft ??
just interested..........

Yes, it's theft.
Part of the definition of theft is to treat an item in a way that is inconsistent with the rights of the owner.
Retaining possession against the wishes of the owner falls into that definition, so yes ... she is committing theft.
