Commonwealth v. Tluchak

The Tluchaks (defendants) sold their farm under a written contract covering only fixtures like buildings and plumbing, not personal property, though the buyers claimed an oral agreement covered other unlisted items; when the buyers took possession, several items were missing, including a commode, a washstand, a hay carriage, an electrical cord, and peach trees, which the Tluchaks either denied taking or claimed the right to remove. They were convicted of larceny and appealed.
