	Larceny - LoveToKnow 1911
		The term theft, sometimes used as a synonym of larceny, is in reality a broader term, applying to all cases of depriving another of his property whether by removing or withholding it, and includes larceny, robbery, cheating, embezzlement, breach of trust, andc.
		Thus it was furtum (but it would not be theft at English common law) to use a deposit of pledge contrary to the wishes of the owner, to retain goods found, or to steal a human being, such as a slave or filius familias (a special form of :urtum called plagium).
		The inconveniences of the common law rules of interpretation of indictments led to certain amendments of the law, now contained in the Larceny Act, for the purpose of avoiding the frequent failures of justice owing to the strictness with which indictments were construed.

	Description and History of Common Law
		Common law consists of the rules and other doctrine developed gradually by the judges of the English royal courts as the foundation of their decision, and added to over time by judges of those various jurisdictions recognizing the authority of this accumulating doctrine.
		English common law emerged as an integral part of the transformation of England from a loose collection of what were essentially tribal chiefdoms or proto-states to a centrally governed civilization.
		Common law's unity has been attributed to the fact that law is grounded in and logically derived from a handful of general principles and that whole subject-areas such as contract or torts are distinguished by some common principles or elements which fix the boundaries of the subject.

		larceny, in law, the unlawful taking and carrying away of the property of another, with intent to deprive the owner of its use or to appropriate it to the use of the perpetrator or of someone else.
		Such an act was not larceny at common law because larceny was committed only when property was acquired by a "felonious taking," i.e., when the act was committed with respect to property that was at the time in the legal possession of the owner.
		It is also distinguished from burglary burglary, at common law, the breaking and entering of a dwelling house of another at night with the intent to commit a felony, whether the intent is carried out or not.

	Buddhist Case Law on Theft
		The case law on theft (V iii 54-67) consists of forty-nine cases, preceded by a mnemonic index in verse.
		In many legal cultures the topic of theft spurred early lawyers on to their first flights of abstraction: ideas on ownership emerged through discussion of theft, and ownership is, par excellence, the legal abstract noun.
		I would expect case law ("When that happened, this was the result") and hypotheticals ("If that should happen, this should be the result") to be as old as each other, and as old as proto-science and futurology.

	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 Law, by Frederic Bastiat
		The harmlessness of the mission performed by law and lawful defense is self-evident; the usefulness is obvious; and the legitimacy cannot be disputed.
		But when the law, by means of its necessary agent, force, imposes upon men a regulation of labor, a method or a subject of education, a religious faith or creed — then the law is no longer negative; it acts positively upon people.
		But make the laws upon the principle of fraternity — proclaim that all good, and all bad, stem from the law; that the law is responsible for all individual misfortunes and all social inequalities — then the door is open to an endless succession of complaints, irritations, troubles, and revolutions.
