Ranma: (snorts) Whats to stop me beating you up and taking it?
Kunou: The law against theft. I legally purchased this item from Nabiki Tendou.
If you take it, you will be a theif and prove yourself to be as low as
I believe you are.
Nabiki: You left it lying around. You know what they say... Finders keepers...
Uh, no. The essay wasn't Nabiki's, so she had no legal right to
sell it. The fic was good and funny, but this explanation doesn't work.
