    $\begingroup$ This only works if mike can recognize what Jane's lock looks like or if no one else in Kleptopia has any locks. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Shufflepants Nope, every box that is padlocked can't be stolen. Intercepting and trying to open a box without your name on it can be considered stealing. This doesn't apply in real life, but the specifications are clear enough.. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Narmer How does attaching your own lock to the box, returning it to sender and then delivering the empty box qualify as stealing the box? If it does, the question should really be more specific in this instance to rule such things out. Perhaps instead of "boxes cannot be stolen" it should be "boxes are guaranteed to arrive at their destination". But even then, what does Mike do if he gets the box back and there are 3 locks on it, his and 2 others? Seems like the question should also say that no one besides Mike and Jane even have locks. $\endgroup$
