I would probably go play video games or have sex (the usual) - Nominus Experse

Larceny
Basically, it's theft + intention to deprive + transfer of ownership, which is different from theft. Theft works to your benefit; deprivation works against the victim, and it flaunts the newfound title of ownership against the person.
[strike]what do you mean by that? like lets say....you steal a car or a company or something, and now your trying to say that it belongs to you in title?[/strike]
bad example
ok lets say you wrote a book.... i stole all your written work and published it, is that larceny?

Something like that. Simple theft seems to carry the idea that it was done as a spur-of-the-moment idea, or you took something to better your own situation. Larceny seems to give the connotation (according to the Wikipedia page) that you had to:
A) want to steal it
B) which implies foreknowledge and a plan
C) the person who you took it from knows that you took it, and when confronted, you would say that it was yours
So, yes, if I stole a car from my friend, and I told him that the car is mine after he filed a report, that would be larceny.
Of course, in this situation, the insurance on the car, as well as any form of vehicle registration would prove you wrong. Did that help?
EDIT: If you did something like a book, which has no inherent value until published, you're venturing into the realm of intellectual property, which has its own set of rules. Larceny deals with physical things that have value. A car that is purchased for $20k has value. A bunch of words you scribbled into a book does not.
you helped a bunch tavrobel! time to make my video
edittt: hey, can anyone tell me what would be a punishment for a petty and grand larceny?

The same scale as one would get for a misdemeanor as opposed to a felony. The latter implies more jail time. The former may or may not have jail time, a fine, community service, or such things. This works under the assumption of a first-time violator.
yeahh, i just found that out right now
now my last question is what type of person is more likely to commit larceny? O_o
