Property of another shall mean property in which any person other than the actor has an interest which the actor is not privileged to infringe, regardless of the fact that the actor also has an interest in the property and regardless of the fact that the other person might be precluded from civil recovery because the property was used in an unlawful transaction or was subject to forfeiture as contraband.  Property in possession of the actor shall not be deemed property of another who has only a security interest therein, even if legal title is in the creditor pursuant to a conditional sales contract or other security agreement.

 

Receiving shall mean acquiring possession, control or title, or lending on the security of the property.

 

Stolen shall mean property which has been the subject of theft or robbery or a vehicle which is received from a person who is then in violation of section 28-517 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, 1943.
