Do you think the Pope would be mad if I stole his hat?

Asked by AshLeigh (16340points) July 13th, 2013 from iPhone

I was thinking about visiting the Vatican, and stealing the Pope’s hat. It’s a really cool hat, which means I have a valid reason.
Do you think he would be mad? Or does he have to forgive me, because he’s the Pope?
They should at least let me wear it for my mugshot, right? It would be a legendary heist.

I’m only 18! yes.
I just think it’s a good hat.

I get the idea that the new Pope would not give a shit.

This pope wouldn’t mind. The last pope is a risk.
I have wondered if the last pope is at a retirement home, and if they have funny hat day. I bet he likes that.

This pope would not mind, but his Swiss guards might get a little rough with you.

Worth it. I want that hat.

Good luck finding out where it is. I went to the vatican and it is a giant maze and the Popes resident (which is probably where the hat is) is separate from where tourist roam and I’m sure is well guarded. On top of all of that he is rarely actually there. There are tons of eyes on you everywhere you go. But if by some miracle you were able to pull it off, I would think he would just probably shake his head. Would he forgive you? Sure, why not. But I’m sure the Italian police won’t forgive you. If you are talking about the triple crown tiara that sits in St. Peters Basilica, you wouldn’t have a chance. There are more crowns. So which one do you mean?

Whichever one he’s wearing at the time.

He might be mad, but what’s gonna do, all his rings weigh him down, therefore he couldn’t come after you. Besides, he probably has a whole bunch of those hats. If he’s a cool pop, he’ll just give you a one. I also want one of those, I bet it’s all soft inside.

A good thief never promotes her crime before committing one. Ah, but you are not a thief. Some would consider you a terrorist, having threatened the security of papal property. Pity, the ignorance of others who would judge you as such. Surely you are on a list by now. Is it worth it, to jeopardize your future political career with such frivolous threats of teen wanderlust?

The revolutionary you are could demand a higher, more permanent goal.

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies But DUDE. It’s a sweet hat.

AshLeigh's avatar

I would look good in that hat. Just sayin’.

Berserker's avatar

The pope is mad by definition.

I think you’d better plan and execute this heist now, before Benedict musters his forces and retakes the Vatican.

OneBadApple's avatar

I’m pretty sure that you can order exact replicas of the Papal hat on Amazon for around $19.95

This would of course deny us all the pleasure of viewing your mug shot but you can create this by visiting mymugshot.com

(I’m just sayin’...)

@OneBadApple, but that’s not nearly as much fun!

OneBadApple's avatar

Oh, uhh…..fun.

Yeah, sorry…..I forgot about the ‘fun’ part…

If the pope is any way that the bible says he SHOULD be (patient, forgiving, kind, charitable) he might be a bit disappointed with you, but he’ll forgive you later.

answerjill's avatar

Not stealing is one of the 10 Commandments, so yeah, he wouldn’t like it!

OneBadApple's avatar

OK, but (without Googling) WHICH Commandment is it ?

(Jeopardy “think” music plays….)

OneBadApple's avatar

”.....duntt, da-dunt-dunt dunt….dunt….dunt…..bowm bowmp”

Sorry, answerjill…...The correct answer is…....8th !!......The 8th Commandment…..

Berserker's avatar

@OneBadApple That made me dance.

SamandMax's avatar

Goodness. The number of inappropriate comments I could make here, shocking.

@Symbeline: I have a Jeopardy dance too!
