Intentional Interference with Personal Property

Intentional interference with personal property occurs when someone purposefully damages, destroys, or unlawfully manipulates another person's belongings without permission. This can include actions like damaging a vehicle, tampering with electronic devices, or stealing items. The key element is the intentional act that disrupts the owner’s rights or use of their property, causing harm or loss. Such actions are considered wrongful because they violate the property owner's legal rights and can lead to civil legal claims for damages or restitution.
