The answer I received from Law Enforcement was "Yes". I had a hot tub stolen by a former tenant and was told that it was a "civil matter" and not a "criminal matter" when I spoke to the police. Pursuing a case would have cost more than the hot tub was worth.

Why did the founding fathers believe that democracy rested on property?

The Founding Fathers believed that democracy rested on property as they viewed land ownership as essential for individual independence and civic virtue. Property owners were seen as having a stake in society, which encouraged responsible participation in governance and decision-making. They feared that a democracy without property rights could lead to mob rule and instability, as those without property might act against the interests of the property-owning class. Thus, they believed that a stable democracy required a foundation of property ownership to ensure informed and vested citizen engagement.

Did Thomas Mitchell seek permission to travel through the Aborigines' land?

No. The early European explorers of Australia did not see the need to seek permission to travel through the indigenous people's land. They had no concept that the Aborigines were the original custodians of the land. Mitchell was one of the worst, in that everything he did indicated he was out to conquer the land. Although Mitchell did respect the skills of the Aborigines, he did not respect their "ownership" or believe he needed permission to travel through their land.
