What do you think? C'mon on man as Chris Berman says.
You keep someone else's property without paying for it and with the intent not to give it back? That is the definition of theft.
This is not a collections question - its a criminal law question and perhaps criminal law attorneys will provide further insight if you direct your question to them.
If it were me, I would give the item back so you will not be prosecuted criminally and then I would deal with any rental charges for the past 6-7 months by way of settlement.
