Is Larceny still a crime in the English law? I thought it was replaced by Theft.

It has been replaced. I was quite confused when I looked for it in the menu on the right hand side. Is it possible to add theft to the 'criminal law' menu? I don't know how to, sorry :( DARLA 07/06/07

Hello? Don't we normally have a disambiguation page for this sort of thing (re bottom of page)? Sargdit: your issue seems to have been addressed. - J Alexander D Atkins 10:38, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Great observation! Larceny seems to be a form of theft. For instance? You take your car to the shop to get fix, you up at anytime without notifing the mechanic and take the car he'll report it as theft. Just because it's your car. They have the right to ownership at the point in time of it being in the shop. They are responsible for the cars they fix at all times being in their profession.

In English law, larceny was replaced by theft in 1968. Many of the federal and U.S. state laws retain the term larceny. And, to clarify your example, the garage only has a lien for the unpaid bill and not ownership (and, yes, that means that a person can steal his or her own property).

Thanks Michelle May 11, 2006

New question: Someone who works as a teller at a bank begins selling account information on the internet. Is this larceny, employee fruad or counterfeiting?

The above question would be considered identity theft and identity fraud, and possibly bank fraud as well.

Identity theft and identity fraud are terms used to refer to all types of crime in which someone wrongfully obtains and uses another person's personal data (account info, name on the account) in some way that involves fraud or deception, typically for economic gain.
