A woman entered a department store, concealed an expensive watch in her purse that she did not pay for, and left the store without being stopped or confronted by anyone. Which of the following best describes the woman's conduct?
Trespassing
Theft
Burglary
Conversion
The correct answer is theft because the woman intentionally took and carried away the property of another, specifically the watch, with the purpose of permanently depriving the department store of its ownership. Theft requires unlawful taking and carrying away of the property without the owner’s consent and with the intent to permanently deprive. Other answers are incorrect because concealing the item or intending to take it without completing all elements of the required act would not satisfy the legal definition of theft.
