People v. Wolcott, 34 Cal.3d 92, 99-100, 665 P.2d 520 (July 7, 1983) (California conviction of robbery, in violation of Penal Code 211, does not require as an element either an attempt to inflict a violent injury, or the present ability to do so: it is defined by statute as the felonious taking of personal property in the possession of another, from his person or immediate presence, and against his will, accomplished by means of force or fear. (Pen.Code, 211.) The fear which induces the victim to part with his property may be either: (1) The fear of an unlawful injury to the person or property of the person robbed, or of any relative of his or member of his family; or (2) The fear of an immediate and unlawful injury to the person or property of anyone in the company of the person robbed at the time of the robbery. (Pen.Code, 212.) Although a threat to injure the victim personally may involve an assault, a threat to injure his relatives, family members, or companions would not necessarily take that form. And it is clear that a threat to damage the victim's property, or the property of a relative, family member, or companion, would not come within the statutory definition of assault.).
