Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The act of dropping a brass disk into a slot machine to obtain a cigarette, instead of using the appropriate currency, constitutes theft. This is because the accused intentionally deceives the machine (and by extension, the owner of the machine) to obtain goods without proper payment, thereby dishonestly inducing delivery of property.
