I love it. However, around here stacking bricks near the curb means take them, they are free. I think the 2 that were buried amounts to theft. So the conclusion would be theft but it would be a tough call here had the 2 buried been left.

But 2 more and the case is closed. Absolutely theft. There is no reason to believe the original bricks were taken by the same person(s). Sounds like the uncle/father saw what had happened being close by and jumped on the bandwagon.

Did the uncle/father learn anything? Well we did, he is a dirtbag to let the kid cop to the theft.
