"No Questions Asked" Means No Immunity A recent case involving 40,000 pounds of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer stolen from a California distribution center has garnered attention, with the company offering to return the stolen goods with "no questions asked.
" However, this offer is often misunderstood as granting immunity or protection from prosecution. In reality, "no questions asked" simply means that the victim will not ask questions about the returned items.
The decision to prosecute ultimately rests with the state, not the victim of the crime. This was demonstrated in 2021 when Lady Gaga's stolen French bulldogs were recovered and a reward was offered for their return.
