Criminal conversion

Imagine you had a toy that belonged to your friend, but your friend let you borrow the toy to play with. You agreed to take care of the toy and give it back when your friend asks for it. However, instead of giving the toy back when your friend asks, you decide to keep it for yourself without permission. This is what criminal conversion is - taking someone else's property without their permission and keeping it for yourself. It's like if you took a cookie jar from someone's house without asking and then ate all the cookies inside. That would be criminal conversion because you took something that wasn't yours and used it for your own benefit without permission. It's important to always ask permission and respect other people's property.
