Will you actually be charged with theft?
If I don't pay my mortgage, I don't get charged with anything. What's the difference between lending money vs a car/camera etc? I guess it all comes down to intent, but intent is hard to prove.
- droithomme 7y agoThe thief in this case used a false id, engaged in identity theft, and also robbed another person on the same day. It's hard to imagine circumstances where any court or jury would fail to find criminal intent in this particular case given those details. If someone borrows something and then gets lost in the woods and dies, it's not theft because there wasn't intent. You are correct that these cases hinge on intent.
