What is theft?

Theft crimes -- also called larceny - are any crimes in which a person intentionally and fraudulently takes personal property of another without permission or consent and with the intent to convert it to the taker's use (including potential sale). Crimes may be defined as petty theft misdemeanors or grand theft felonies. Theft cases may include:

Shoplifting
Robbery
Burglary
Fraud
Possession of stolen property
Bad checks
Embezzlement
Identity theft
White collar theft
Forgery

Theft crime penalties

Most theft crimes such as burglary and shoplifting have standard penalties guidelines that vary per jurisdiction. Penalties may range from fines to prison time. Ultimately, however, each theft case is evaluated on its own, with harsher penalties given for use of weapons and resulting injuries or deaths.
