  • Petty Theft – Knowingly stealing another person’s property (stolen property worth less than $400)
  • Grand Theft – Stealing the goods of another person (equal to $400 or more in monetary value)
  • Burglary – An individual who breaks into a building with the intent of committing a felon

There are other serious theft-related crimes that include the misuse of public funds, counterfeiting, first and second-degree burglary, embezzlement, bribery, receiving stolen property, and artwork theft. Most theft crimes have standard penalties; however, jail terms and fines may drastically increase depending on the situation. Factors that can worsen the punishments include: committing a theft crime with a firearm/weapon, as well as injuries or deaths of others as a result of the theft crime.
