Halacha 1: Stealing from a gentile or from consecrated property requires only repayment of the principal, not double payment.
Question 2
A thief steals a cow and kills it in an invalid (non-kosher) manner. Does he pay five-fold?
Halacha 7: If the slaughter is not ritually acceptable, or he kills the animal or rips off a limb, four or five-fold payment does not apply.
Question 3
A thief steals a sheep and gives it as a gift to someone else. What is his liability?

Question 4
A thief hides a stolen sheep among trees in a forest but has not removed it from the owner's domain. Is he liable for double payment?
Halacha 16: Hiding the animal within a forest still in the owner's domain does not complete the theft; the thief is not yet liable for double payment.
Question 5
