[Ord. No. 923 §2, 2-16-1965; CC 1976 §22-20]
A. As
used in this Section, the following words shall mean:
PROPERTY
Everything of value whether real or personal, tangible or
intangible, in possession or in action, and shall include, but not
be limited to, the evidence of a debt actually executed but not delivered
or issued as a valid instrument and all things defined as property
under the laws of the State.
STEAL
To appropriate by exercising dominion over property in a
manner inconsistent with the rights of the owner, either by taking,
obtaining, using, transferring, concealing or retaining possession
of his property.
B. A person
commits the offense of stealing if he appropriates property or services
of another with the purpose to deprive him thereof, either without
his consent or by means of deceit or coercion.
C. If the property stolen within the meaning of Subsection
(B) is a chattel and the person charged with stealing the same proves by a preponderance of the evidence that no further transfer was made, and that, at the time of the appropriation, he intended merely to use the chattel and promptly return or discontinue his use of it, he has a defense to a prosecution under this Section.
"Chattel," as
used in this Section, does not include money, securities, negotiable
instruments, documents of title, postage or revenue stamps or other
valuable papers.
D. A person
who appropriates lost property shall not be deemed to have stolen
the same within the meaning of this Section, unless such property
is found under circumstances which give the finder knowledge of or
means of inquiry as to the true owner.
