Theft and property crimes generally encompass unlawful acts involving the unauthorized acquisition of another’s property, with the express intent to permanently deprive the owner of their possession. The term ‘theft’ is often used as an umbrella term for various offenses including grand theft, grand theft auto, larceny, receiving stolen property, shoplifting, embezzlement, and robbery.
To impose a penalty for theft, it is incumbent upon the prosecution to demonstrate, beyond a reasonable doubt, that you engaged in the act of theft. The specific criteria for establishing theft can vary, depending on your jurisdiction and the particular crime involved.
This refers to the unauthorized taking of property or money exceeding a value of $1,000. The theft of items or funds valued below $1,000 is typically classified as petty theft. However, the exact value threshold may differ depending on your state’s laws.
