What is Valenzuela v. People: Theft Conviction about?

The petitioner was convicted of consummated theft for stealing cartons of detergent from a supermarket. He claimed it should have been considered frustrated theft since the goods were recovered. The Supreme Court affirmed the conviction, finding that theft is either attempted or consummated based on the elements in the Revised Penal Code - the taking of the goods was enough to constitute consummated theft regardless of subsequent recovery.
