What is the crime defined as Larceny under MCL 750.356?

Larceny under MCL 750.356 is defined as the act of taking property without the consent of the owner, which encompasses the intent to permanently deprive the owner of that property. This definition highlights the fundamental elements of larceny, which include the unlawful taking and carrying away of someone else's property. The focus here is on the lack of consent, which differentiates larceny from other forms of property interactions, such as borrowing or renting, where consent is present.

The other options do not align with the legal definition of larceny. Borrowing property implies a temporary use with the owner’s consent, and using property with consent does not involve any theft-related crime. Renting property and not returning it could fall under different legal issues but does not clearly define the act of larceny as outlined in the statute. Thus, the correct understanding of larceny is encapsulated in the act of taking property without the owner's permission.
