IIRC, that law finally got patched a few years ago so that people who pinch cars for a joy ride could still be 
sentenced.


Thats still the definition of Theft, Joyriders are not charged with
Theft, they get charged with Taking Without Owners Consent, which
I believe only applies to Vehicles, not Cisco source.
