Vayikra 5:14-26 details the laws of the Asham, listing three transgressions for which one is required to bring it. The first and third cases both relate to the theft.  One who has unintentionally benefited from that which was sanctified to Hashem or one who has property belonging to another and denies this under oath are both obligtaed not only to retrn th theft and add a fifth but also to bring an Asham.
