What is the difference between vandalism and theft?

The prosecutor thus specified which acts constituted vandalism and which acts constituted theft. The jury was properly instructed that vandalism involves malicious damage or destruction of property of another and larceny involves the taking of property of another. The elements of each count were clearly defined, and there was no danger that some jurors believed appellant was guilty only of vandalism and others only of larceny. (People v. Russo, supra, 25 Cal.4th at pp. 1134-1135.)
