Article II. On Certain Thefts In Particular
82.
82. The rules given above for discerning the gravity of theft (or rather the grave obligation of restitution in certain thefts) must be somewhat tempered, either because among the small things taken away there were many intervals, or because the owner is not judged to be so unwilling, or because the thing was not so much another's. Whence some things remain to be said: 1. on petty thefts; 2. on domestic thefts; 3. on thefts in public things.
