Misappropriation
Misappropriation is unlawful conduct and will be punished. Misappropriation is the act of finding and keeping a thing or an asset without being entitled to keeping it. Embezzlement, which is also punishable, is something else: Anyone who appropriates an asset entrusted to him commits embezzlement. This includes the act of taking cash from the cash register without authorisation.
