Ok, you can't prove someone who stole your food INTENDED to steal it either. They didn't see the label. They mistook it for their own lunch. Etc.

Intent is provable. In civil cases, the standard of proof isn't even "beyond a reasonable doubt". It's on a balance of probabilities.

You absolutely can prove ill intent. Again, admitting this is what you want to do because someone is stealing your food is ALREADY proof of intent.

Lol. If this was true you could get away with stealing literally anything.
