7.25 	other connection; or by
7.26 	(ii) attaching any unauthorized device to any cable, wire, microwave, or other component 
7.27 	of a licensed cable communications system as defined in chapter 238. Nothing herein shall 
7.28 	be construed to prohibit the electronic video rerecording of program material transmitted 
7.29 	on the cable communications system by a subscriber for fair use as defined by Public Law 
7.30 	94-553, section 107; or
7.31 	(13) except as provided in clauses (12) and (14), obtains the services of another with 
7.32 	the intention of receiving those services without making the agreed or reasonably expected

8.4 	physical, electrical, by wire, microwave, radio, or other means to a component of a local 
8.5 	telecommunication system as provided in chapter 237; or
8.6 	(ii) attaching an unauthorized device to a cable, wire, microwave, radio, or other 
8.7 	component of a local telecommunication system as provided in chapter 237.
8.8 	The existence of an unauthorized connection is prima facie evidence that the occupier 
8.9 	of the premises:
8.10 	(A) made or was aware of the connection; and
8.11 	(B) was aware that the connection was unauthorized;
8.12 	(15) with intent to defraud, diverts corporate property other than in accordance with

8.21 	the retailer's consent and with intent to deprive the retailer permanently of possession of 
8.22 	the fuel by driving a motor vehicle from the premises of the retailer without having paid 
8.23 	for the fuel dispensed into the vehicle; or
8.24 	(19) commits wage theft under subdivision 1, clause (13).
8.25 	(b) Proof that the driver of a motor vehicle into which motor fuel was dispensed drove 
8.26 	the vehicle from the premises of the retailer without having paid for the fuel permits the 
8.27 	factfinder to infer that the driver acted intentionally and without claim of right, and that the 
8.28 	driver intended to deprive the retailer permanently of possession of the fuel. This paragraph 
8.29 	does not apply if: (1) payment has been made to the retailer within 30 days of the receipt 
8.30 	of notice of nonpayment under section 604.15; or (2) a written notice as described in section 
8.31 	604.15, subdivision 4, disputing the retailer's claim, has been sent. This paragraph does not 
9.1 	apply to the owner of a motor vehicle if the vehicle or the vehicle's license plate has been 
9.2 	reported stolen before the theft of the fuel.
