Robo por no devolver propiedad arrendada

Explicación Simple

Si tomas algo prestado y no lo devuelves después de un tiempo, puedes tener problemas. Esto es como cuando le pides a un amigo su videojuego y no se lo das de vuelta, aunque él te lo haya pedido varias veces.

Es como si alquilas una bicicleta y, aunque el dueño te pide que la devuelvas, decides quedártela. Eso no está bien y puedes meterte en problemas.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan alquila una cámara a una tienda por $150. Después de una semana, la tienda le envía un mensaje pidiéndole que la devuelva, pero Juan no lo hace y sigue usando la cámara. Esto podría llevar a que Juan enfrente cargos por robo.
