Dirtbag writes invoice on company he works for and buys copper pipe. (He is authorized to make purchases for the amount needed in his work.) Company is in County A. Copper is purchased in County B and sold for scrap in County B. Is venue proper in county B for theft from Company located in county A?

Sure. Venue is proper for a theft in any county into which or through which the defendant took the property. CCP art. 13.08.

Too bad this thing won't show a forehead slap. Thanks.
