But also no way to notice, and therefore no way to be harmed, any more than the condom had. >This is the same argument that might suggest that an absentee >landlord's land could be violated, stolen, or used without his or >her own consent, since such landlord wasn't present at the time >that such property was used or abused. I was going to bring up that very example myself, for the opposite opinion.
