Is it considered a crime if you order something, and you send the billing and the delivery to the same address, but it is not your address, and you do not plan to pay for it?

Just curious. I plan to go into law myself, if not psychology.

If not for anything else, you'd be in breach of contract.

Either you're an asshole, or you're doing something for X-mas.

Well, in very few instances can you order something and have it shipped WITHOUT paying for it first, for this very reason.

In such instances with such products being shipped "payable on delivery", ordering a product not to your address and without any intent to pay for it could be considerered a knowing misrepresentation which made the company incur a cost to you, and thus fraud.

It is unlikely you'd be charged for anything though since if it is payable upon delivery and the person you send it to didn't order it, he would likely simply refuse receipt.

Hmm, ok, another question.

How in hell did they make sure that the water and energy meters weren't tampered with to put the numbers back back in the day that they were used?

a solid plexiglass case and geared numbers that couldn't be turned by hand?

If they told everybody it wouldn't work all that well, would it?

And don't we have a "What's the deal with...." thread for this?
