Question:

Elaine and Latka each operate a stall in a market. During a particularly busy day, Elaine noticed that she had nearly run out of coins. She normally walked to a nearby bank to obtain change. However, since business was so brisk, she did not want to leave her stall unattended for long. She went to Latka's stand to ask if she could borrow his vehicle. He was out for lunch, but she noticed that he had left his car keys under his counter. While she did not really know Latka very well, Elaine assumed that he would not mind if she borrowed his car for a few minutes. When she returned, however, Latka was furious to learn that she had taken his car without permission. Has Elaine committed an intentional tort? If so, which one? Explain the remedy that Latka may receive.
