The correct answer is false. For robbery, the victim must either perceive the force or the threat of force at the time of the theft. This perception is key because robbery requires the taking of property from the victim through the use of force, fear, or intimidation, which must affect the victim. Without the victim’s awareness, the theft may instead constitute larceny or another lesser offense.
