Isn't Tom Bombadil still dogged by charges of kidnapping Goldberry?

Smoking in enclosed, public spaces: a whole host of characters.

Glorfindel and Frodo probably broke the Rivendell speed limit.

The Nazguls for disturbing the peace in Bree and attempted murder (when Frodo was stabbed).

Could also charge them with vehicular homicide (when they ran the poor gate watcher over. Can't remember if this happened in the books or not, I really need to read them again.)

Bilbo-for stealing Golum's precious!
Ungoliant-for attempted murder and theft (think of Manwë's face if this came to court!)

You should say Gandalf for breaking the one in Rohan!
The way this thread goes, Gandalf is the biggest criminal in the history of ME!

It makes Denethor's dislike of the wizard more understandable, to be honest.

And both Denethor and Saruman should be in court for trying to access private inforation through the palanthirs - Aragorn too, for that matter. And Pippin, even though he did it "by accident"

A good lawyer would easily put Aragorn away for multiple cases of fraud.

Bilbo's real reason for leaving Bag End was less than what he let on in his book. He was in fact out of his money and was skipping out on his creditors who he still owed for Bag End.

Remember that The Hobbit was compiled from Bilbo's own notes - his bias shines through. Are we really supposed to believe the cartoonish villainy of the Sackville-Bagginses, and their low-down tricksy attempts to steal Bilbo's 'rightful' home?

He used his wealth and connections to cheat this poor family out of their promised house.
