§ 604.24

Ransom v. VFS, Inc. · 2013 2 citations

. Count Four of Plaintiffs' complaint is titled "Theft.” However, the complaint alleges “theft” of personal property without referencing any state statutes such as Minn. Stat. § 604.24, which provides that "[a] person who steals personal property from another is civilly liable to the owner of the property.” Because the complaint does not reference the civil theft statute, the Court will assume that Plaintiffs intended to allege a cause of action for common law conversion. Therefore, for purposes of this order, the Court will refer to Plaintiffs’ Count Four as the "conversion claim.”
