Hey so Larceny is taking and carrying away of anything with value, grand larceny is items over a certain value.
But I also didn’t know and went to check Wikipedia what larceny was, and I found this absurd example which has me thinking about donuts in new and exciting ways.
I want to go and rotate a donut around not its centre of mass, but around an axis through its torus, off-centre from its centre of mass, because apparently that is not a larceny.
If it’s not taken from its original position, how is it even theft? 🤨 The only kind of theft I can imagine that would not require moving the thing being stolen is squatting, and that is a very boiled down way of thinking about squatting.
Nah, squatting is trespass, theft can only affect personal property or real property when it’s moved, apparently. Squatting doesn’t move any property. Even moving a sofa from one room in your squat to another doesn’t count as theft because there’s no intent to deprive the owner of the couch.
Rotating a donut on its own isn’t theft, you have to also have an intent to take it or deprive its owner of it unlawfully.
