Control: The defendant must have exercised control over the property, interfering with the plaintiff's ownership rights.

Ownership: The plaintiff must establish their ownership or right to possess the property in question, along with evidence proving that the defendant's control was unauthorized or exceeded any agreed-upon terms. 4.

Note: There are no known subtypes or variations of Oregon Jury Instruction — 3.2 Civil Theft at the time of writing.
