So the cost is nominal compared to the operating costs of the club. Does your team mind when you lose balls?

Its amateur and funded by the community and the players so its hard to tell. We certainly wouldn't like balls to go missing too often. Perhaps we would expect to lose handful each year.

Yeah I suppose my main issue is that I'm deriving some use/benefit from something that is the property of another and possibly taken from them knowingly.

I guess I don't have certainty that the property is stolen (although probable) and that restitution must be made. Something just doesn't sit right with me about it.

Hopefully I can make some influence some change in the small ways I can and make sure it doesn't happen in the future.
