What is necessary for a continuing trespass to satisfy the requirements for larceny?

In the context of larceny, a continuing trespass occurs when someone initially takes property without the intent to permanently deprive the owner of it, but later develops such intent. For the requirements of larceny to be satisfied, the initial taking must be wrongful, meaning it did not have the owner's permission, but also must occur without the specific intent to steal at that moment. This aligns with the legal principle that when property is taken initially without intent to permanently deprive the owner, but with the development of that intent later, it qualifies as a continuing trespass.

The other responses focus on the role of intent at different stages of the taking. While it is true that intent to steal must be present for larceny to be established, in the specific scenario of continuing trespass, the absence of this intent at the moment of taking is crucial. Thus, the reasoning centers around how the nature of the taking contributes to the larcenous act.
