Let's say that I come in the open air on a large red vase only within the 1-meter wood Picket fence part of a pottery store. The shop is closed, and the store building is locked and unattended in question of the hour in. The office building has a door with a mail slot. Price of the vase is marked with a unique tag or label. I want to buy a vase. I have my checkbook with me. There are more than enough money on my account to cover the price of the vase and any taxes. It is a friend with me who has a video camera. I am a big man and can remove the fence without Vase within or disturb. I have a check for the vase in the slot and take the vase. No alarm signal is generated. If a crime has been committed? Is my payment for the vase to create a positive defense to a charge of theft? Thanks.
