Qualified theft


Explanation:
Qualified theft is a type of theft that is usually considered a more serious theft, and therefore warrants sentencing enhancements over other types of theft. In the criminal world, not all types of theft are created equal. Certain degrees of theft are determined by the value of the items stolen and other circumstances.

The word "bens" (property) is implicit in the expression.

(As amended by R.A. 120 and B.P. Blg. 71. May 1, 1980).

Accordingly, appellant's act of taking the coconuts without complainants' consent after he was terminated from the services amounted to qualified theft. All the essential elements of the crime of qualified theft have been substantiated by the facts proven, to wit: (1) that there be taking of personal property; (2) that said property belongs to another; (3) that the taking be done with intent to gain; (4) that the taking be done without the consent of the owner; (5) that the taking be accomplished without the use of violence or intimidation against persons or force upon things; 8 and, (6) that the property stolen consists of coconuts taken from the plantation. 9
