Subject: Re: Riding someone elses bike. Theft? Posted on: Tue, 25 Mar 2008 15:23:08 -0400

Bob,

Although it may not aply in British law, what you describe is often
called theft by conversion. The young man converted the use of the bike from
the owner to himself. That he may some day return the bike does not mean
that the owner was not deprived of the use of the bike during the interim.
