No person shall leave or permit to remain outside
of any dwelling, building or other structure, or within any unoccupied
or abandoned building, dwelling or other structure under his control,
in a place accessible to children, any abandoned, unattended or discarded
icebox, refrigerator or other container which has an airtight door
or lid, snap lock or other locking device which may not be released
from the inside without first removing said door or lid, snap lock
or other locking device from said icebox, refrigerator or container,
unless such container is displayed for sale on the premises of the
owner or his agent and is securely locked or fastened.
No person shall intentionally take and carry
away, use, transfer, conceal or retain possession of movable property
of another without his consent and with intent to deprive the owner
permanently of possession of such property.
