Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

because a jacket is a person property, Similar to theft, larceny is the taking of property with the intent of depriving the owner of its use. Petty or simple larceny is usually a misdemeanor and involves theft of property less than the local threshold for grand larceny, while grand larceny is typically a felony. Examples are thefts of bicycles, thefts of motor vehicle parts and accessories, shoplifting, pocket-picking. So therefore taking someone's jacket believing is your own is still larceny.
