Theft and embezzlement are both property crimes, but they differ in significant ways. 🏆 Theft involves taking someone else's property without their permission with the intent to permanently deprive them of it. 😈 For example, pickpocketing or burglary fall under this category.

On the other hand, embezzlement occurs when someone who was entrusted with another person’s property uses it in a way not authorized by the owner. 💼 A classic case would be an employee misusing company funds.

One key difference is the relationship between the offender and the victim. Theft often happens between strangers, while embezzlement usually involves a fiduciary relationship, like employer-employee. 😅 Understanding these distinctions helps clarify legal consequences and appropriate punishments.

So, next time you hear about such cases, you’ll know whether it’s about sneaky theft or betrayal of trust in embezzlement! 🚀
