Thomas hired Greta, a therapist, to come to his house to treat his agoraphobia (fear of outdoors).  Greta asked Thomas if he would be willing to try hypnosis, and Thomas said yes.  Greta then hypnotized Thomas and told him to go outside and “enjoy the outdoors for five minutes,” instructing Thomas to keep track of time on his phone and to return when the five minutes were up.  Thomas returned five minutes later with a dog on a leash and said, “Good news! I found a dog; he’s mine now!”  Greta, concerned about where the dog came from, un-hypnotized Thomas.  Shortly thereafter, a police officer showed up at the door and arrested Thomas for stealing a neighbor’s dog.  Thomas had no recollection of stealing the dog and remembered nothing from when he was under hypnosis.  Thomas resides in an MPC jurisdiction and is charged with larceny, which in the jurisdiction is defined as “the taking and carrying away of personal property of another with the intent to permanently deprive.” Should Thomas be found guilty of larceny?
