Question 2

Somebody steals silverware from the dinner table at a nice restaurant.
 
  You question them and they justify their behavior by saying, The restaurant management knows customers stealthey raise the price of their meals and drinks to cover the additional costs of stolen items. Since they pass on the higher costs to all of us who haven't stolen, I think it is only fair I finally get my share of the silverware.
