In Wisconsin, crimes having to do with theft or property damage such as burglary, fraud, or arson, can include everything from stealing a TV set to burning down a large building.

Wisconsin statutes 943.20(1)(a) state:
Intentionally takes and carries away, uses, transfers, conceals, or retains possession of movable property of another without the other's consent and with intent to deprive the owner permanently of possession of such property.

In addition to proving the 4 elements of theft, the State must prove:

1. That you made a false representation which you knew to be false in order to obtain the property/possessions of another

In these cases, the most difficult element for the state to prove is that you knew you were making a false representation. If you believed what you were saying, then you are not guilty of this offense. Unfortunately, the state will assume that you knew what you were doing was wrong. Even though you are presumed innocent by the law, your defense must be prepared to prove your innocence.
