Which description matches the code for STOLEN PROPERTY?

Which description matches the code for STOLEN PROPERTY?

• A. STOLEN PROPERTY
• B. FRAUD
• C. ILLEGAL SHOOTING
• D. KIDNAP

Answer: (A)

Stolen Property is a direct, descriptive label used in 400 codes to indicate items that have been taken or wrongfully possessed, and are the subject of a theft investigation. The description for this code should simply be the status of the item—Stolen Property—so responders immediately know the case involves property that has been stolen and needs property-crime handling, recovery, and documentation. The other options describe different offenses altogether: fraud involves deceit for financial gain, illegal shooting refers to unlawful firearm discharge, and kidnapping involves unlawful taking or confinement of a person. Those would correspond to different codes, not the stolen property code.
