4861 A suit for violation of Penal Code section 496, which creates a cause of action against one who knowingly sells stolen property by anyone who sustains actual damage as a result, does not require that plaintiff have been in possession of the property when it was stolen; loss of goodwill resulting from the violation satisfies the requirement of actual damage; loss of goodwill does not satisfy the standing requirements of the Unfair Competition Law, because it is a loss of neither money nor property; a fraud complaint must be sufficiently specific to allege how, when, where, to whom, and by what means the alleged fraud was committed.CitationCITIZENS OF HUMANITY v COSTCO (Discount Sales) 171 CA4 1 [See: PenC 496]
