That is actually not true: read the article I linked.

Also, here's the Oregon law on the matter: http://www.leg.state.or.us/ors/164.html

I'll quote the relevant section (164.015):

Quote

(2) Commits theft of property lost, mislaid or delivered by mistake as provided in ORS 164.065;

Furthermore, because its value is greater than $1000 (164.055), it counts as a theft in the first degree.

Ahh now this is interesting. Seems BenDavis is on the ropes. Now the only question I have if because this is international if things get legally mucky.

It's more of a pain him to file a report, but it's certainly possible, and he's made it clear that he intends to follow through with his police report. He is a US citizen living abroad. The thief should definitely be worried, at this point.
