either the men lived together or jack had permission or he was only charged with brbreaking and entering

Jack cannot be charged with burglary because he returned the lawnmower before it was even discovered missing. Jack can be charged with treaspassing for going onto/into Georges property without Georges consent. Btw....that's something my neighbor would do.

Emily!

because George told Jack that it was okay for him to use his lawnmower

trespassing or unlawful entry

railcar_exp

Jack can't be charged with theft since he returned the mower. Jack can be charged with B & E (breaking and entering) and trespassing.

I am sorry that you didnt get any answers, but I am glad that you posted that information for us to read. It was very interesting and good knowledge to have. Thank you for doing that for us!

Because the lawnmower is not missing, Jack can't be charged with burglary. Maybe he would be charged with borrowing the mower. A good sentence would be to have him mow George's lawn for a year or so.

Trespassing and unlawful entry

George said he could use the mower before he left for his cottage.

trespassing

ranger_girl

if jack had georges permission he cant be charged

bkbarile

for stealing gas

but should something be done for the depreation of the mower, instead of a new mower, it is worth much less

yourdoneandover

Just because he returned it before his neighbor got home doesnt mean he took it without permission. he could have been returning it before he got home out of consideration, no? For all I can tell from the info here is that the only thing for sure that he did wrong was not let the nosy neighbor know what he was doing. Otherwise if the neighbor whose lawnmower was removed is feeling violated I guess he could file trespassing charges on him, and surely there is something about illegally using someones possessions even if there returned. I mean Im not a lawyer but thats got to cover about all of it.

There are no charges...not only does he reside in this home and has access to everything there, possesion is nine tenths of the law?

macy5

the mower was already in his garage with the permission of Gearge

hot stuff

jack will not be charged with anything because george left it in jacks garage

drdemento61

no burglary because he didn't steal anything....but could be charged with B&E but more then likely just tresspassing

baby

george told him to use the lawnmower to mow their yards. to bring in the mail, newspaper and all that.

breaking an entry

Roadrunner58-79

George told Jack that he could use the mower while he was gone and Jack will not be charged with anything.

The Indispensable Chris Cameron

Because burglary involves the intent to commit theft. Jack did not intend to commit theft, and this was shown by the fact that Jack returned the mower.

tonalc1

You didn't say if he broke into the garage. I'm assuming he didn't, so he couldn't be charged with burglary, especially since he put it back.

He could be charged with trespassing.

Unless, of course, he was mowing George's lawn.

noitall147

Jack will be charged with breaking and entering. If he cannot be charged with burglury, it might be because he brought it back.

momma2more

George asked Jack to mow his lawn while he was gone for the summer. George also told Jack that he could use his mower for the job and to cut his own lawn too.

MARTIN B

perhaps cos he returned the item it isn`t burglary.
Maybe he can be charged with borrowing something without asking the owners permission.

grim reaper

I understand where your answer is coming from, but burglary is defined differently in different states. SO, at least in CA, IF Jack entered the garage intending to use the mower without replacing the gas, he DID commit burglary.
BUT, if he entered intending to replace the gas and then just didn't, your answer would stand. I like the twist that if he had intended all along to replace the gas and then DID, there wouldn't be any crime, only civil actions. Cool question.

PoPo's Ho

George would have to be the one to press charges. Otherwise Jack has done nothing wrong.

Stoned Bosco

He can only be charged with Larceny. Although he took and used George's lawnmower and used it, he returned it. However, the gas that was in the mower when Jack "borrowed" the mower was used up when Jack mowed his lawn. Jack therefore, stole George's gas. Jack could be arrested for theft.
