Question
Hello Rabbi, A person got confused and placed an item in someone else's car trunk instead of their own for a few minutes. Is it enough to apologize to the person and ask to retrieve the item? Is there any kind of theft involved here? Was there a theft of space, and does one need to ensure the person forgives?
Answer
Hello Rabbi
An apology is sufficient.
He did not cause damage, but used it inadvertently without permission.
