Theft, in turn, requires that the taker "intended to deprive the owner of [the property] permanently or to remove it from the owner's possession for so extended a period of time that the owner would be deprived of a major portion of the value or enjoyment of the property." (CALCRIM No. 180011; see People v. Aguilera (2016) 244
