What is NJ penal code 2c20 3a?

Answer 1

2C:20-3. Theft by unlawful taking or disposition

a. Movable property. A person is guilty of theft if he unlawfully takes, or exercises unlawful control over, movable property of another with purpose to deprive him thereof.

b. Immovable property. A person is guilty of theft if he unlawfully transfers any interest in immovable property of another with purpose to benefit himself or another not entitled thereto.

Section 3(a) means theft of personal property. Personal property is something that can be picked up and moved (movable property), such as furniture or money for example. Immovable property would be taking something that represents something else. For example stealing a deed to a home. The home is immovable but you stole ownership by transfering ownership under the deed.
