Legally, there are five points to prove:
A person dishonestly,
Misappropriates,
Property,
Belonging to another,
With the intention of permanently depriving them of it.

For example, a friend of mine was in the Flounge recently and saw a traveller put about 20 bags of crisps into their laptop bag and their travelling companion put three bottles of highland spring into theirs.

Now to me, that's crossed the line as it ticks all five boxes above. Let the debate commence.
