ABSTRACT
Small (1988): A two stage test for dishonesty Facts D was charged with theft of a car. D admitted stealing the car, but said he had seen the car for two weeks in a stationary position parked on a corner of a road, with the doors unlocked and keys in the ignition. One tyre was flat, as was the battery. The petrol tank was empty and the windscreen wipers did not work. D thought it was abandoned property and could not be stolen. D was convicted and appealed.
