Do I absolve myself of responsibility by taking eight unused computer memory sticks from a company, then forgiving the two partners for them when they ask for forgiveness and compensation?

The inquirer is obligated to return the price of what he took to the company owner or his agent. If the agent is no longer an agent, the inquirer’s liability is not discharged except by the forgiveness of the company owner himself. This can be achieved by contacting the company owner directly or through the former agent.
