You do not have to actually cause damage to be convicted of Criminal
Damage.

One of the earlier cases brought under the Criminal Damage Act 1971
involved a tyre being let down. The person was convicted of Criminal
Damage and appealed. The appeal court, on upholding the conviction, said
that the act of letting down the tyre had caused the owner to take an
action that he would not have otherwise have had to do (pumping up the
tyre).

By affixing the sticky label, you would cause the owner to take an action
that he would not have otherwise have had to do and, therefore, would be
committing an offence under the Criminal Damage Act 1971.


AH! I was hoping the Voice of Authority would speak :-)

I was trying *not* to say anything as it was interesting to see people's
views. However, when it became clear that the OP thought he would not be
breaking any laws, it seemed only decent to warn him. If he wishes to
still proceed, at least he will do so with his eyes open.

All customers are most welcome. :-)
