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 ?

You only have to prove that the person took something that did not
belong to him and not who it in fact really belonged to. Since it was
a flag on a business, and the person in the video was not any part of
that business, there would be no reasonable doubt.

It might seem that way but a perfectly plausible scenario is that he could have
loaned that flag.

It really is wrong to make assumptions of guilt. Mind you from what I hear of
the US legal system ....
