Larceny.

Larceny is a term used in criminal law to describe the act of unlawfully taking and carrying away someone else's property with the intention of permanently depriving the owner of it. Larceny is considered a theft crime and is typically categorized as a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the jurisdiction and the value of the stolen property.

The elements of larceny generally include the following:

1. Unlawful taking: The property must be taken without the owner's consent or against their will. It involves physically removing the property from its rightful possessor or control.

2. Carrying away: The property must be moved, even if only a short distance, from its original location. This element distinguishes larceny from other forms of theft, such as embezzlement.

3. 
   

4. Property of another: The stolen property must belong to someone else and not to the person committing the larceny. If the person taking the property has a legitimate claim of ownership, it may not be considered larceny.

5. Intent to permanently deprive: The offender must have the intention to permanently keep the property away from the owner. If there is a temporary intent or an intent to return the property, it may not meet the requirement for larceny.

It's important to note that specific definitions and legal elements of larceny can vary between jurisdictions. Different regions may use alternative terms such as theft or stealing to describe similar offenses. The severity of punishment for larceny also depends on various factors, including the value of the stolen property, the offender's criminal history, and the specific laws of the jurisdiction in which the crime was committed.
