Homework Help:

In the famous case of R. v. Wilkins, 1964, a police officer parked his motorcycle but left it running while he went to write ticket. Wilkins hopped on and drove the motorcycle a short distance away to play a joke on the officer. His motive was to play a prank, but he was charged with the theft of the motorcycle. Theft requires "the intent to convert an object to one's own use." Should the accused be found guilty of theft or not?
