* Criminal law – Theft – Elements of theft: asportation and intention to permanently deprive – Prosecution must prove elements beyond reasonable doubt; illogical or unsupported transfer narratives undermine conviction.* Evidence – Credibility and consistency – Where evidence establishes lawful repair and return of property, theft not proved.* Appeal – Insufficient evidence justifies quashing of conviction and setting aside sentence.
