Silly me, I looked up the larceny statute, who would thunk that they had a theft statute too.

NRS 205.0832 Actions which constitute theft. A person commits theft if, without lawful authority, he knowingly:

1. Controls any property of another person with the intent to deprive that person of the property.

2. Converts, makes an unauthorized transfer of an interest in, or without authorization controls any property of another person, or uses the services or property of another person entrusted to him or placed in his possession for a limited, authorized period of determined or prescribed duration or for a limited use.

I suppose I could craft an argument that this statute applied, again I don't have access to the case law.

but I stand by my opinion that not even a prosecutor is dumb enough to bother with this.
