7 C Of Theft or Stealing
1. Concealment of the fact of the taking 1. If he purposely omits to take such measures as he has
reason to think requisite in order for a person in
whose possession or custody the thing is to know the
fact of its being taken. As if a man going in to a
shop where he is not know, or even where he is
known, lays hold of any article and without
telling the shopman or otherwise giving him notice
puts it in his pocket and departs. Much
more if he takes measures to prevent its being
known: as if upon being asked whether he has taken
it he denies it: and this Nor does it matter whether
the question be put to him at the time of the taking, or
at any other time after.
2: Concealment of the person of the Takers2. If he purposely omits to take such measures as he has
reason to think requisite in order for a person in
whose custody or possession it was to know who
the person was that took it: As if a stranger passing
by a shop, snatches up a thing and runs away with
it before the shopman's face. Much more if he takes
measures to prevent his being known: as if he wraps himself
up or disguises himself for the purpose.
A Stranger, who- Def. Spec. By a stranger in this case is meant any
one who has no reason to think himself already
known to the owner in such a manner as to be made
amenable, if it was before the owner's face that it
was taken, or to any one who would be expected of
course to inform the owners. to if
