Theft Act 1968

OK kiddo, so the Theft Act 1968 is basically a law that says it's not OK to take something that belongs to someone else without their permission. It's like taking a toy from your friend without asking - that's not nice and it's against the law too!

Now, there are different kinds of theft according to the law, like stealing from a shop or stealing a car. And if someone does steal something, they can get in trouble with the police and even go to jail. So it's important to always ask for permission and respect other people's things.
