Receiving control of stolen property with knowledge of its stolen status and with intent to permanently deprive the owner.

Receiving control of stolen property with knowledge it’s stolen and with the intent to permanently deprive the owner is the offense of receipt of stolen goods. The key idea is not just possessing stolen property, but doing so knowingly and with the purpose to permanently deprive the rightful owner. That combination of knowledge and intent makes the act of receiving stolen property a crime. Battery and assault involve intentional physical harm or threats, not possession of property, so they don’t fit. Embezzlement involves misappropriation of property that someone was lawfully entrusted with; here the focus is on receiving property the person knows is stolen, not on misusing property that was lawfully in one’s possession.
