No Alan: it's 'COVETing' that is the sin! But only for Wives and Oxen and Asses and things.
Deuteronomy 5.1 - .21 "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's."
So...... as long as he doesn't live next door..... that's all fine, then.
Please also note that it is only a sin if the neighbour is MALE..... it's perfectly all right to covet a FEMALE neighbour's ass.........
'Coverting' (if the word exists at all, is what Apple do with Microsoft Products: they use COVERT tactics to spy on, and COPY MS Software!
