Best Answer

State laws generally provide that a person commits theft if he obtains or exercises unauthorized control over the property of another with a purpose to deprive him thereof. There are many different ways by which a person can commit theft. A person may commit theft by simply taking the property of another, by converting another's property to their own use, by embezzlement, etc.

Therefore, in various criminal codes theft is classified as "Theft by Unauthorized Taking or Transfer".
