How would you apply the law of theft to a scenario?

So start by defining the law - s1(1) dishonestly appropraite property belonging to another with the intent to permently deprive Then outline the actus reus with cases - s3(1) appropriation (Pitham v Hehl), s4 property (personal, money), belonging to another s5(1) defines, possesion or control of another MR - dishonseslty, define acceptions of what is not dishonest as of s2, then apply the Ghosh test, intent to permently deprive (dpp v lavender, lloyd, velumyl) So outline the law and then the facts of the case and link these together at the end of outlining each section of the law
