Defendant is charged with the "theft of entertainment services" by entering a football game with the i. d. card of another. A necessary element of theft is the intent to deprive the other of the object permanently. LSU can still entertain with football. There are numerous lawful ways the university may prevent the transfer of i. d.'s, but nothing has been stolen in this case.
