In People v. Lonnen (1903) 139 Cal. 634, an information was filed against the defendant alleging that he had committed the crime of grand larceny because he "did willfully, unlawfully, and feloniously take from the person and immediate presence" of the victim some gold coins. ( Id. at p. 636.) The defendant contended that the trial court erred in overruling the demurrer to the information. The evidence tended to show that the defendant took the money from the pocket of the victim. The court found sufficient evidence of asportation. "When the taking is from the person, ...no further asportation, or carrying away, is necessary to complete the offense of grand larceny. Or, to state the matter another way, the 'taking from the person' is all the 'asportation,' or 'carrying away,' necessary to be alleged or shown to constitute the crime of grand larceny." (Ibid.)
