Re: conversion
Conversion is "knowingly or intentionally exerting unauthorized control over another person's property"--in other words, taking something that isn't yours. Shoplifting can be an example of conversion. For a general overview of this and some other common criminal charges, you might want to check out http://www.indiana.edu/~sls/criminal_law.html.
