Larceny

Larceny is a legal term for the act of stealing someone else's property with the intent to permanently deprive the owner of it. It involves taking someone else's belongings without permission, whether by physically removing them or unlawfully possessing them. Larceny can occur in various forms, such as theft of money, goods, or valuable items. It is considered a crime against property because it infringes on an individual's rights to their possessions, and it can lead to criminal charges, penalties, including fines or imprisonment, depending on the value of the stolen property and the jurisdiction.
