lost football

[chas2008]

sensible answers only !! and no moralising on the rights on wrongs of kids playing football.
My grandson (11) and a couple of friends were playing football on a green area not in the street, when they managed to kick the ball over a fence, as you do, and lets be honest most of us did us kids.
From what i gather it was the 1st time it happened its not like a regular occurance, the woman is refusing to give the ball back, does this count as theft ??
just interested..........

What you'd get now, julia, in similar circumstances is the parents coming round to stick one on. They will say that their beloved child can do no wrong and anybody suggesting otherwise will get what's coming to them!
