I was just looking at something which had "proof of purchase" written on it. I'm sure I've seen many such products. Why would they even bother writing that on it? How can something be a "proof of purchase" if the customer has never actually purchased it?

Hey. Enough of the crap answers. I'm not thinking of stealing anything. Notice I used the word "you", not "I".
I'm also not talking about morality here.
I'm talking pure legality.
It's jumping the gun to put something that says "proof of purchase" before the item is actually purchased.

You would be just another worthless thief.

A proof of purchase is not a contract between you and seller in which the seller agrees you have purchased the product. Read it. What does it say? Nothing, except "proof of purchase."
The proof of purchase is put on there by manufacturers for rebate incentives and warranty purposes-- to demonstrate you actually bought the item new.

That's actually proof to the manufacturer that the product is authentic. If you want to take advantage of manufacturer offers, they often request that you send in proof of purchase, which they use to check their distribution lines. For a retail sale, the receipt is the actual proof of purchase.

Proof of Purchase is simply the UPC code.
It doesn't matter if thats on there. Nearly every product has one, even if it doesn't have that wording. They're used for scanning and turning in for redeemable items. They won't save you if you stole it.
Look: Stealing = illegal. Nothing changes that. Period.

And, if you close your eyes as you walk out of the store, they can legally prosecute you for theft.
And, if you walk off of a cliff and don't look down, you won't fall!
And, if you hold up a stop sign when someone takes a shot at you, the bullets stop in mid air!
And, if a piano fall on you from a ten story window, when they open up the top of the piano, you'll be safe, inside?
And, if you get hit in the face with a sledge hammer, your nose will flatten out, but pop out again a moment later!
And ...
