Which statement correctly identifies a motor vehicle for the Theft of MV category?

• A. Non-motorized, bicycle
• B. Self-propelled, runs on land, carries people or cargo
• C. Boat
• D. Aircraft

Answer: (B)

Identifying a motor vehicle for the Theft of MV hinges on three traits: it moves under its own power, operates on land, and is used to transport people or cargo. The best statement describes something that is self-propelled, runs on land, and carries people or cargo. A bicycle can be ridden without a motor, so it isn’t a motor vehicle. A boat operates on water, and an aircraft operates in the air, so they aren’t included in this category. Therefore, the description that combines self-propulsion with land operation and transport of people or goods properly defines a motor vehicle for Theft of MV.
