Where an attempt of obtaining a cheque by deception was charged, under R v Preddy (1996) AC 815, the money that would have been obtained by cashing the cheque was not the property of the alleged victim but would have been the property of the bank and therefore was not property in relation to which the appellant could have intentionally deprived from the alleged victim.
