APPROPRIATE
To "appropriate"
property of another to oneself or a third person means (A) to exercise
control over it, or to aid a third person to exercise control over it,
permanently or for so extended a period or under such circumstances as
to acquire the major portion of its economic value or benefit, or (B) to
dispose of the property for the benefit of oneself or a third person.

Robbery and Related Offenses, §§ 53a-119 -- 53a-136a).
Commentary:
See glossary entry for "deprive." The court should not instruct on both
deprive and appropriate when the state is proceeding only one or the
other theory in a larceny prosecution. State v. Spillane, 54
Conn. App. 201, 210-20 (1999), aff'd on other grounds, 257 Conn. 750
(2001).
