In grade school a class mate told me how to mail letters for free: print where the letter _should be sent_ in the return address, print anything for the apparent delivery address, apply no stamp, and drop in a public mail bin. The letter will be sent "back" to the return address because postage was not paid.

When I got home later that day I excitedly shared with my parents the new hack I had learned and they told me it was wrong because it was stealing. I had been so taken with the neatness of the scheme I did not register its immorality.
