N.C.P.I.—Crim. 220.90
FRAUD IN CONNECTION WITH RENTAL OF MOTOR VEHICLE. FELONY.
The defendant has been charged with fraud in connection with the
rental of a motor vehicle.
For you to find the defendant guilty this offense, the State must
prove five things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant obtained possession of a motor vehicle
from [the owner] [name person in lawful possession] by agreeing in
writing to pay a rental for the use of the vehicle.
Second, that the defendant further agreed in writing that the
vehicle would be returned [to (describe place)] [(at) (on) (name date or
time)].
Third, that the defendant [failed to return the vehicle as agreed]
[[secreted] [converted] [sold] [attempted to sell] the vehicle (or any part
thereof)]].
Fourth, the defendant acted willfully, that is intentionally and
without justification or excuse.
And Fifth, that the defendant intended to defraud [the owner]
[name person in lawful possession].
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant obtained possession of the motor
vehicle from its [owner] [name person in lawful possession] by agreeing
in writing to pay a rental for the use of the vehicle, and to return it; the
defendant willfully [failed to return the vehicle as agreed] [[secreted]
[converted] [sold] [attempted to sell] the vehicle (or any part thereof)],
and that the defendant intended to defraud [the owner] [name person in
lawful possession of the vehicle], it would be your duty to return a
verdict of guilty. If you do not so find or have a reasonable doubt as to
one or more of these things, it would be your duty to return a verdict of
not guilty.
