Section 388: Stealing by persons having an interest in the thing stolen

When any person takes or converts anything capable of being stolen, in such
circumstances as would otherwise amount to stealing, it is immaterial that he himself
has a special property or interest therein or that he himself is the owner of the thing
taken or converted subject to some special property or interest of some other person
therein; or that he is lessee of the thing, or that he himself is one of two or more joint
owners of the thing; or that he is a director or officer of a corporation or company or
society who are the owners of it.
