Question 2
2. X surreptitiously hauled detergent cases from ABC Supermarket to its open parking
area where Y waited. X returned inside, came out with more detergent cases, and
unloaded them in the same spot. Thereafter, X and Y hailed a taxi and loaded the
detergent cases into the vehicle. The security guard who had been observing their
peculiar behavior stopped the taxi and asked X and Y for a receipt for the
merchandise. However, X and Y alighted the taxi and ran away. But before they
could leave the premises of ABC Supermarket, they got arrested. Taking into
consideration that X and Y did not have the opportunity to dispose of the goods, the
prosecution charged them only with frustrated theft. Is the charge correct?
