Types of Theft Crimes
There are numerous ways to commit theft, and not all of them are obvious. Some people have even been unwitting accomplices to the crime and had to go to court to prove that they did not realize they were aiding a criminal act. The type of theft you are charged with will play a major role in building your defense strategy.
Theft crimes may include:
- Identify theft
- Embezzlement
- Wage theft
- Credit card theft
- Check theft (forging checks)
- Grand theft auto
- Mail theft
- Shoplifting
- Receiving stolen property
If the value of the stolen property was less than $1,000, then it will be charged as a misdemeanor. Penalties for misdemeanor theft can include a 12-month jail sentence and up to $1,000 in fines.
If the value of the stolen property is more than $1,000, the offense can be charged as a felony, which usually results in a prison sentence and fine. If the value of the property is more than $20,000, it is considered a Class 3 Felony, which has a maximum 12-year prison sentence and fines up to $750,000.
