Theft \Theft\ (th[e^]ft), n. [OE. thefte, AS.
[thorn]i['e]f[eth]e, [thorn][=y]f[eth]e, [thorn]e['o]f[eth]e.
See Thief.]
1. (Law) The act of stealing; specifically, the felonious
taking and removing of personal property, with an intent
to deprive the rightful owner of the same; larceny.
[1913 Webster]
Note: To constitute theft there must be a taking without the
owner's consent, and it must be unlawful or felonious;
every part of the property stolen must be removed,
however slightly, from its former position; and it must
be, at least momentarily, in the complete possession of
the thief. See Larceny, and the Note under Robbery.
[1913 Webster]
2. The thing stolen. [R.]
[1913 Webster]
If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, .
. . he shall restore double. --Ex. xxii. 4.
[1913 Webster]

3. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary |
Theft
Punished by restitution, the proportions of which are noted in 2
Sam. 12:6. If the thief could not pay the fine, he was to be
sold to a Hebrew master till he could pay (Ex. 22:1-4). A
night-thief might be smitten till he died, and there would be no
blood-guiltiness for him (22:2). A man-stealer was to be put to
death (21:16). All theft is forbidden (Ex. 20:15; 21:16; Lev.
19:11; Deut. 5:19; 24:7; Ps. 50:18; Zech. 5:3; Matt. 19:18; Rom.
13:9; Eph. 4:28; 1 Pet. 4:15).

4. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
THEFT, crimes. This word is sometimes used as synonymous with larceny,
(q.v.) but it is not so technical. Ayliffe's Pand. 581 2 Swift's Dig. 309.
2. In the Scotch law, this is a proper and technical word, and
signifies the secret and felonious abstraction of the property of another
for sake of lucre, without his consent. Alison, Princ. Cr. Law of Scotl.
