I still find that debateable. Can any item that you forget is in your posession be considered stolen? A friend's set of keys, change from making a lunch run for the guys in the office, a borrowed sweater? How absurd is that?
If it starts out in your posession legitimately, your unintentional failure to return it does not constitute theft. It is not until you decide that you're not going to return it that it should be considered stolen.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
