Which of the following common law crimes is associated with taking someone else's property with the intent to permanently deprive them of it?

Larceny is defined as the unlawful taking and carrying away of someone else's personal property with the intent to permanently deprive the owner of it. This crime captures the essence of theft, focusing on both the act of taking and the intention behind it. The key elements of larceny are the unlawful taking, the asportation (movement) of the property, and the intent to permanently deprive the owner of their property. This distinguishes larceny from other crimes, which may involve different actions or intents.

For example, murder involves the taking of a life, which is a different context entirely; burglary pertains to illegally entering a property with the intent to commit a crime, often involving theft but not necessarily requiring the intention to permanently deprive the owner at the moment of entry; arson deals with the intentional destruction of property through fire. Thus, larceny specifically fits the description provided in the question regarding the intent and manner of taking property.
