What is a Theft Crime?
Any time an individual unlawfully takes another person’s possessions or property without permission it is considered a theft crime. You can also be charged with a theft crime if you accept property that you know has been stolen or unlawfully obtained.
Theft crimes can be classified as felonies or misdemeanors. Misdemeanor theft crimes, commonly referred to as petty theft, are the lesser of two crimes. Generally, the stolen property has a value of $400 or less. If you have unlawfully taken over $400 worth of property, then you will be charged with the significantly more serious felony offense, grand theft.
