Property Theft

Property theft is the unlawful taking of someone else's possessions without permission, with the intent to permanently deprive the owner of them. It can involve physical items like electronics, jewelry, or vehicles, and typically requires intent and lack of consent. Property theft is a criminal offense that can lead to legal consequences. It differs from crimes like fraud or embezzlement, which involve deception or misuse of entrusted assets. Understanding property theft emphasizes respecting others’ property rights and the importance of legal ownership.
