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.

But it could also be argued that the flag owner, who watched and
offered no words of protest--even after the veteran left--implicitly
assented to the transfer.

Assented? While the thief is standing with a bared K-bar in his
hands, saying "I want them to fight me"?

I would call their silence intelligent, not assenting.
