In any prosecution for theft, it shall be a sufficient defense that:
The property or service was appropriated openly and avowedly under a claim of title made in good faith, even though the claim be untenable; or
The property was merchandise pallets that were received by a pallet recycler or repairer in the ordinary course of its business.
