The act of committing criminal offences such as theft, aggravated theft and robbery is legally determined as "taking property". Despite the exceptional frequency of these crimes in Croatian case law, as well as the significant difficulties about what is mean by "taking property", this issue has been neglected in Croatian legal scholarship. This paper seeks to shed more light on a set of questions that are essential for understanding the above concept: defining detention, analysing the two elements of detention (possession and volition), co-detention, etc. In the final part of the paper, the act of taking property is broken down into two parts: termination of another's detention and setting up one's own detention.
