The question asks who committed larceny, not theft. All larceny is theft, but not all theft is larceny. Doesn’t change the right answer, but the logic is different

Dan :
One of the few things I remember for no obvious reason from law school 35 years ago is the common law definition of theft: “the trespassory taking and carrying away of the personal property of another with the intent to deprive them permanently of their property.” We got this correct because his taking and carrying away was without intent to deprive; that formed later. As you said about Texas (and California, where I went to law school) the common law formula has been generally been abandoned in favor of broader theft definitions.

Larceny would require the a t of acquisition to be theft.

all bags at baggage claim have tags with a name on them. you dont get to claim ignorance when the item is clearly marked. he committed theft just not the super specific Larceny under common law.

Both. Greg must make an attempt to find the owner.

Mike Harhut :
The law favors the thief in this case, which is not just. Why follow the law if it's not just? It has to be strictly at that point that Greg takes it to count as theft, but if then if he did not know, then he gets away with theft later, and someone loses their three thousand dollar watch. Theft should count at any point in time that you have the wrong item if, and when, you know that it is not yours and you intentionally keep it. If you don't know, then return the wrong item when you do, then you should not be found liable, because you do intentionally take to keep something that is not yours.

Christian :
I’m confused. Does this mean Greg is guilty of something else or nothing at all? Clearly what he did was wrong. Both by not returning it and by grabbing a bag which had a bag tag code that didn’t match his claim ticket.

Knowing and willfully doing something to keep knowing once shouldn’t def home boy. Now if the wife knew and did nothing and went along both but if she was simply the mule she’s gonna maybe have to be able to prove that from a defense stand point unless the husband admits he acted alone without her knowledge

Not in Florida. That’s like saying that the bank put money in my account by mistake and then I spend it. I’m gonna get charged for that if I don’t pay it back.

As a current examinee on my 30 minute break from bar prep, I must say this was a hilariously unfortunate fyp pull. However, I am as excited as you are about getting the right answer lol🤣

Locke :
Larceny is intentional taking of property of another with the intent to permanently keep it. wrong bag = not larceny, blanket = larceny

Chad McCluskey :
I got it right. Not a lawyer but I assumed the common law definition of larceny probably had to have intent for the action of theft which Greg did not.

warpig :
Greg’s wife did because she had the intent to steal it. The intent is the important part
