Question

Why was soapy not arrested for stealing the umbrella chapter-the cop and the anthem​

Answer 1

Answer:

Soapy was not arrested for stealing the umbrella because the man who owned the umbrella was not willing to put himself into the situation and cause any disruption on the streets. He may have also gotten a little scared having seen the cop.

I have written this answer considering the facts from the chapter "The Cop And The Anthem". If this question relates to another chapter, then I am sorry for the wrong answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

Soapy did not get arrested for stealing the umbrella because the man who gave umbrella told that the umbrella is not his umbrella and the umbrella was missed by someone he was searching for the man. The man thought that the umbrella was Soapy's umbrella and gave him.
