	GR No. 213913 2015-09-02	PEOPLE v. JULKIPLI ASAMUDDIN Y SALAPUDIN A.K.A.'JUL' VILLARAMA, JR., J.
The subsequent recovery of the stolen motorcycle will not preclude the presence of the third element. Actual gain is irrelevant as the important consideration is the intent to gain or animus lucrandi.[48] Intent to gain is an internal act presumed from the unlawful taking[49] of the motor vehicle which the appellant failed to overcome with evidence to the contrary. Verily, the mere use of the thing unlawfully taken constitutes gain.[50]
