F.Â
Offender's interest in the property. It is no defense to a charge
of theft of property that the offender has an interest in the property,
when the owner also has an interest to which the offender is not entitled.
Where the property involved is that of the offender's spouse, no prosecution
for theft may be maintained unless the parties were not living together
as man and wife and were living in separate abodes at the time of
