DPP v J [2002] EWHC 291 FACTS: The defendants had accosted a boy on his way home from school. One of them snatched the boy's headphones and another defendant snapped them in two. HELD: Silber J noted that once the headphones had been snapped, they were useless and could be said to have been dealt with definitely, to have been got rid of, or finished. He said that the intention of the defendants has to be inferred from their acts, thus this defendant had demonstrated an intention to treat the headphones as his own to dispose of regardless of the owner's rights.
