X, the servant of Y, takes a hundred rupee note from Y's pocket and hides it under the carpet in the house of V. X tells Z another servant of Y, about the currency note and both agree to share the money when the currency note is taken by X from the hiding place. Before X could recover the note, it was found by Y. Decide if an offence was committed and if so who committed the offence?
