Pete owns six automobiles, a Ford, a Buick, a Chrysler, a Dodge, a Pontiac, and a Toyota, which he keeps in his garage which is attached to his house.
Dave, Pete’s friend, asked Pete if he can borrow the Ford to take his wife to the doctor. Pete agrees to let him borrow the Ford and hands Dave the key to the car.
Dave takes his wife to the doctor in the Ford. The Doctor refuses to see Dave’s wife unless he pays his past due bill. Dave has no money but agrees to give the Doctor the Ford. Dave forges the pink slip for the car and gives the keys, the pink slip, and the registration to the Doctor.
What criminal charge is Dave most likely to face? Discuss any defenses.
