R v Turner [1971]
D, who owned the car, took it out of the garage after work had been completed from it, without paying. D was guilty of theft, despite it being his own property
-
MR - dishonestly, with the intention to permanently deprive

-
appropriation still happens when D has the property with the owners permission, but goes beyond that permission they have been granted
property includes money, items and intangible objects
-
a person who picks fruit from a plant growing wildly on any land for their own, non-commercial uses does not steal what he picks
wild creatures are regarded as property, but cannot be stolen unless it is in possession of another person
when a person receives property by mistake, they have an obligation to return the property and it will be deemed as belonging to another , failing to return it will be classed as theft
-
V does not need to actually be permentaly of their property, only D having the intention to permentaly deprivation
If D believed that V would have consented, doesn't matter if a mistaken belief, is not dishonest
