““The ‘Unauthorized Use Statute’ is similar to its senior counterpart in all respects except that there is no element of ‘an intent permanently to deprive the possessor of the item taken.’ ””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““In deciding, therefore, whether the appellant, as the assumed lessee of the Ford Mustang, was guilty of unauthorized use, we must ask ourselves whether all elements of the crime of larceny have been established, saving only that of the animus furandi... . The appellant committed what would have been ‘larceny by trick.’ had' there been an animus furandi. It follows, we hold, that the appellant did, therefore, perpetrate an unauthorized use, absent the animus furandi”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““Where there is no animus furandi, there is no larceny. Farlow v. State, supra, 518.
