deception or fraud

Taking the tiles without paying for them by using a false receipt is a theft. Whether it is a petty theft (misdemeanor) or grand theft (felony) would depend upon the local statutes. However, since he entered the store with the intent of committing that theft, he is also guilty of burglary, which is a felony everywhere.

Probably larceny/theft depending on jurisdiction and worth of tiles

Misdemeanor theft, possibly shoplifting.

" THEFT BY DECEPTION ", " FRAUD ", and because it's over
$50.00, in most States, the charge would be a felony punishable
by up to 2 to 5 yrs. . And if it was caught on tape, you can add
Melicious Intent to Deprive. And we can thank HIM for the added
and/or Increased cost due to the cost of prosecuteing a THIEF.

GODBLESS!!
P/S; what's the Court date?


Catspaw
Larceny of some sort. The exact name of the charge varies with the jurisdiction.


Munya Says: DUH!
Conversion, fraud, and essentially...THEFT!


karen g
THEFT!
doesn't sound like a good 'friend' characterwise.
Watch him. If he would do that to a store imagine what he will do to YOU when your back is turned.

Obtaining goods under false pretences.

Depends on what state you're in. In Kentucky, it would be Theft by Deception and since the value is under $300, it would be a Class A Misdemeanor punishable by not more than 1 year in jail and not more than a $1,000 fine.

theft - similar to changing price tickets on goods to show cheaper than the actual price


law138
Probably theft by deception.


Pete W
fraud or maybe deception (obtaining goods) is more likely.


logan
Fraud and shoplifting. Theft by deception is the more correct term


snetterton
Theft, obtaining goods through deception, plus any charges the credit card companies might want to throw at him. Stupid exercise all round. I hope the CCTV gets him first.

Theft.

Bad taste have you seen the tiles at B&Q?


Cpl Coop
If the amount received was $100, the charge would be misdemeanor theft (2nd degree).


TotalBitch
this made me laugh thanx. Answer: the old people who work in b&Q don't even know their own name half of the time, so don;t worry about it.

i would say theft as it is easier to prove than fraud so a safer conviction

He would be charged with theft, although he could also be charged with fraud, or several other misdemeanour offences.

He wouldn't a mistake not his fault. The person at the till who gave him the money would be fired though.
