No, they'd probably crucify you. But you'd be in the clear if you stole Jean Todt's.

No you would not get off, but that's because you'd have been stealing.
However, if someone you knew confessed to having taken something, and they were in your house and had it with them, then you would not be found guilty of stealing.
The crucial thing is whether:-
a) You paid money to them to steal on your behalf
b) You offered to keep the stolen items in your house
c) You offered to buy the stolen item
However, if you knowingly allowed that person to remove the item, in the knowledge that it was stolen, YOU HAVE A DUTY TO INFORM THE RELEVANT AUTHORITIES OF A CRIME.
Of course, that is a lesser crime than the other ones, because they are only guilty of failing to report a crime.
Consequently, the FIA ruling is really about Maclaren having knowledge of theft, and failing to act appropriately.
I suspect that the last point is the reason why Maclaren were found guilty, because they did not inform either Ferrari or the FIA.
The fact that the matter was left open-ended, pending further investigation as to whether Maclaren had benefitted by the existence of those documents, means that the FIA are prepared to allow any civil or criminal charges to be made in court.
That puts the burden of proof onto Ferrari, but unless they come up with convincing evidence, it is unlikely that they will gain much from pursuing the matter.

If stealing that TV would somehow allow a spoiled British rookie driver to take the title, then you could steal ten and get away!

haha. you'd have probably got a bigger response if you'd put this Q in P&S. i am a McLaren fan, but i can't help wondering if the outcome would have been different if Bernie wasn't around. peronally i think its a case of Bernie gets what Bernie wants and the sooner he retires the better.

Only if you could convince them that you stole the TV for the good of Lewis Hamilton!

If you took the TV and kept it convincingly out of the way, they would find you guilty of taking it, but due to lack of evidence, they would let you off with a warning. :)

You would if you dont watch it.
Stealing is fine, just that you shouldnt let anyone find you watching that TV. Thats the new procedure.
