Sec. 11.46.365. Vehicle theft in the second degree.
(a) A person commits the crime of vehicle theft in the second degree if, having no right to do so or a reasonable ground to believe the person has such a right,
(1) the person drives, tows away, or takes the propelled vehicle of another, other than a vehicle described in AS 11.46.360(a)(1); or
(2) having custody of a propelled vehicle under a written agreement with the owner of the vehicle that includes an agreement to return the vehicle to the owner at a specified time, the person knowingly retains or withholds possession of the vehicle without the consent of the owner for so long a period beyond the time specified as to render the retention or possession of the vehicle an unreasonable deviation from the agreement.
(b) Vehicle theft in the second degree is a class A misdemeanor.
