71E: Using or receiving items removed unlawfully from park

You could also call this:

"Don't use or take things that were stolen from the park"

You must not use, receive, or get rid of anything that has been taken from a park illegally. This includes things that have been removed without permission or in a way that breaks the rules. If you do use, receive, or get rid of these items, you are breaking the law. This is called an infringement offence, which means you could get in trouble if you don't follow this rule.
