Proof of ownership of the item in question is required.

Nope. It makes for a better case if the owner comes forward, but
it's *not* necessary to convict.

How can you possibly prove theft if the ownership of the item is unknown ?

If I place a woman's purse on a park bench, and then wait for a cop to
be within viewing distance of it, and then rush up and grab it... even
though it is MY possession, you can bet your sweep bippy that the cop
would arrest me as a suspected thief.

Betting isn't good enough.

And if it was a man's wallet ?
