Legal Question in Personal Injury in Virginia

Re: theft by conversion

More facts would be needed to answer your question specifically, but generally conversion is often charged in a civil(as opposed to a criminal) case where personal property of some kind has been initially entrusted to a person for safekeeping by the owner or for some other legal purpose and then the person so-entrusted diverts or takes the property and uses or consumes it for his or her own unauthorized purposes and to the owner's detriment.
