Proving “an intent to permanently deprive the owner of possession” is the common method of proving the mens rea of larceny; however, it is not the only method. It has been legally determined that if property is held so long that it causes the owner to lose a significant portion of the property’s value, a larceny has occurred. Some cases have held that if the property is taken with an intent to subject the property to substantial risk, there is a larceny.
