maybe not unless the thieves were aware that the trailer was occupied at the time of the theft. maybe that's why the bad guys scrammed...they realized that they were not alone.
Kidnapping Definition
That definition is the US model of Kidnapping. But the victim in this thread was in British Columbia. Try this out of size:
Forcible Confinement. "In Canada, it is a criminal offence to unjustly hold anyone against their will through the use of threats, duress, force or the exhibition of force. This offence is called "forcible confinement" and is formally defined by the Criminal Code of Canada as depriving an individual of the liberty to move from one point to another by unlawfully confining, imprisoning or forcibly seizing that person.
1 The term "forcible confinement" also includes the offence of "kidnapping".
2 Kidnapping is similar to forcible confinement in that a person is held against their will, but it also involves the act of transporting the victim from one place to another. It is not possible to distinguish between these two offences from the data reported by police services; however, information from adult criminal courts shows the vast majority (94%) to be forcible confinement."
yahbut a reasonable person could determine that the crime of forcible confinement could be committed in this case only if the offenders were aware that the trailer was occupied.
