What Are Some Common Examples Of Theft Crimes?
Broadly speaking, theft involves the unauthorized taking of property or services from another with the intent to permanently deprive them of their ownership rights. Theft charges can encompass:
- Shoplifting
- Robbery
- Burglary
- Larceny
- Embezzlement
- Forgery
- Grand theft auto
- Theft of services
- Credit card theft
Penalties for theft crimes vary greatly, depending largely upon the way the charges are categorized and the value of the stolen property or services. Even a misdemeanor offense involving goods or services worth $100 to $2,500, however, can result in up to nine months in jail and a fine of $10,000. Felony-level theft convictions can result in years behind bars and even more significant fines.
In addition, repeat offenders and special circumstances, such as those involving firearms or injury to a victim, can lead to enhanced penalties. It is not unusual for theft to be charged along with additional crimes, so you may be facing a legal battle on several fronts that must be addressed together.
