The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““Any lessee of personal property under a written or verbal rental contract or lease who, without the consent of the lessor, sells, gives away, removes or otherwise disposes of, conceals or converts such property so that the lessor cannot recover the same at the expiration of the lease or under the terms of the rental contract shall, on conviction, be punished as if he had stolen such property. “It shall be prima facie evidence of intent to sell, give away, remove or otherwise dispose of, conceal or convert such property when the lessee fails to return such property to the lessor within seven days after notice mailed or delivered to such lessee following the expiration of the lease or rental agreement. The word ‘notice’ as used in this section shall be construed to include either notice given to the person entitled thereto in person or notice given to such person in writing, making demand for return of said property. Such notice in writing shall be conclusively presumed to have been given when deposited, as registered or certified mail, in the United States mail, addressed to the lessee at the address given at the time of making of the lease or rental agreement.””
