Larceny Question Please

[LawStudent101]

CA.

I have a question. What if I go to a store and buy something. The cashier accidently gives me more in change. I only realize it after a few minutes that she has given me more change back. I decide to just keep the money. Have I committed larceny??

Please help. Any sources or links will be appreciated!

I thought it sounded like a test question.

Sounds like he has to make an argument one way or the other and support his conclusions.

In my case, I would just write it up and send it to the DA and let HIM decide.

Of course, in reality, the odds of anyone finding out would be nil. When that has happened to me I have brought the money back (gotta be an example for the kidlets, ya know).
