No thanks.  There's no need to protect it from a hopeless would-be attack that won't work anyway.  This is like seeing a tramp standing there with a spoon hoping it'll start to rain soup.  Maybe it'll rain.  Maybe he'll catch a few drops in his spoon.  It won't do him any good to eat it, and if he plans to convince someone else that it's real soup and sell it to them, that's dishonest but so what? It isn't going to work anyway.  There's no point taking his spoon away, except perhaps to remind him that honest people work for a living.  And that's something his parents ought to've done, not something the law needs to worry about.
