MCA Title 45 § 45-6-303: Offender's interest in the property
What this law says, in plain English
Having an ownership interest in stolen property is not a defense to theft charges when another owner's interest exists. Theft from a spouse is generally not excused, except for household items accessed by both spouses before separation.
