Theoretically could someone come along, ask you to empty the drawer and then leave without taking anything and would that still be a crime or just a massive dick move ?
Like some joke out a batman parody where instead of the riddler you have the inconveniencer
That's such a bizarre edge case that I'm pretty sure they'd have to come up with a new law just to address it. If that were to happen we'd probably call the cops, tell them about it, then put the money back. From there it's up to a judge to decide if what they did was illegal. If they didn't use any threatening language at all, probably not.
