Publicola tells the tale of a thief who is so good at his craft, no one seems to mind.

Did the man get caught? Nope; he freely admits it though. Was he prosecuted? Nope; in fact he's been lauded for it - even by the victim of his crime. Did the article condemn him for the thief he is? Nope; it treats his actions as being correct for the circumstances. Did the local cops do anything? Yep; they received stolen goods & conspired to destroy the evidence.
