	Theft Act 1968 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Theft Act 1968 (1968 c.60) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, governing most of the general property offences in English law.
		The Theft Act 1968 resulted from the efforts of the Criminal Law Revision Committee to reform the English law of theft.
		The intention of the Theft Act 1968, was to replace the existing law of larceny and other deception-related offences, by a single enactment, creating a more coherent body of principles that would allow the law to evolve to meet new situations.

	StudyCrime.com -- Theft (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Legally, theft is generally considered to be synonymous with larceny, although in common with many legal terms, its precise definition varies between jurisdictions.
		In the common law, theft is usually defined as the unauthorised taking or use of someone else's property with the intent to permanently deprive the owner or the person with rightful possession of that property or its use.
		For example, in England and Wales, the Theft Act 1968 defines it as: "...the dishonest appropriation of property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other (the owner or person in lawful possession) of it".

	DPP v Gomez, HL decision
		Prior to the passage of the Theft Act 1968, which made radical changes in and greatly simplified the law relating to theft and some other offences, it was necessary to prove that the property alleged to have been stolen was taken `without the consent of the owner’ (Larceny Act 1916, section 1(1)).
		A reading of the Act of 1968, which was based on the draft Bill annexed to the report, leads me to the conclusion that, when using the very words of the draft, Parliament intended to implement the committee’s thinking.
		If `converts’ in the [Act of 1916] implied an unauthorised act, notwithstanding its proximity to the definition of larceny with its requirement of the absence of the owner’s consent, there is, a fortiori, no reason why the word `appropriates’ in the [Act of 1968] should not be similarly construed.
