I would heartily recommend that Bruce not pursue this legally.
In the North American tradition of 'free chalk'....the perp's gonna walk...
...as long as he was using the chalk for its original purpose.

Yeah, I agree
To get a conviction you would almost need a video of the guy taking the chalk, and
another video of the perp smoking it in the bathroom...if you want to get a "chalk" conviction in Colorado.
There's going to be at least one chalklifter on the jury, so you're better off taking the law into your own hands.
Stealing a pocket chalker is a whole new ballgame.
The simple chalklifter is just your basic clepto, but it takes a real thief to steel a guys pocket chalker.
