I am from Canada. I have not been able to find any information on this so I'm turning to BYCers!
My SO is a farm kid. We live in the middle of the Rocky Mountains, and our schools know this. Our college, however, won't return his 3'' long knife (when opened). I gave it to him on his birthday, and he had it in his pocket today. It was by accident so he approached the school and gave it to them, explaining that he forgot it in his pocket. Now, this is a tiny knife... the size of a key. They consfiscated it and, summarized, said they can't give it back because he rides the bus after college to get home (we both do).
Is this considered theft?
He came forward on his own and it wasn't showing. No reason to believe it was a threat.
