Larceny Charges: Taking Another Person's Property

Larceny is defined as the act of physically taking another person's property with the intent of permanently keeping it. In order for a theft or attempted theft to be classified as larceny, you only need to have physically moved the stolen property. Often, larceny involves breaking and entering into another person's home.

Larceny is a specific type of theft: theft by "carrying away" an item of value. Larceny cannot involve any property that can't be moved, like services or real estate. Larceny also differs subtly from embezzlement - while larceny involves physically taking property, embezzlement involves unlawfully "converting" property to your ownership after being entrusted with such property.
