I mean that could spark a whole conversation about property rights and ownership and the fact that just because there are thugs whose express purpose is to defend the 'ownership' of something, doesn't make the idea of ownership anything more than an ephemeral concept that has no real basis in reality. What does it really mean to own something?

But instead I'll just say that it's far more likely that some bored officer stuck on a desk would take your statement, make a report, and you would never actually see that water again and there would be no followup because they couldn't give a fuck about you or your water.
