Mario exits his high performance European sports car to enter the dry cleaners to drop off some laundry. He leaves the vehicle's motor running. Danny, a 17-year-old, happens by, sees the car, and decides to take it for a spin
Danny jumps behind the wheel and drives off. About six blocks from the dry cleaners Danny realizes this was probably a bad idea. He parks the car in the shopping mall parking lot. However, an off-duty police officer observes Danny and is suspicious that such a young man would own such an expensive car. He detains and questions Danny. Danny admits he took the car without permission. The most appropriate charge to file against Danny would be:
A) misdemeanor theft based on the value of the gasoline Danny used.
B) unauthorized use of a vehicle because Danny lacked the owner's consent to drive the car.
C) felony theft based on the value of the sports car.
D) no offense because no significant harm was done by Danny's use of the car.
B
