Understanding Theft Crimes in California

Defined as the unlawful taking of another's property without consent, these crimes can be committed in numerous ways and include:
- Petty theft: Taking property valued at $950 or less without permission.
- Shoplifting: Entering a store to steal items valued at $950 or less.
- Grand theft: Stealing property worth more than $950.

The Importance of Defense Against Theft Charges
Even if the property is returned, you can still face theft charges based on your intent at the time. Theft crimes require a dedicated, experienced attorney to evaluate all facts and defenses. Misdemeanor theft penalties range from probation to jail time, fines, and restitution. First-time offenders may be eligible for diversion, potentially leading to case dismissal. Serious charges like embezzlement or grand theft may result in prison, restitution, fines, counseling, probation, or community service. Theft crimes are "priorable," meaning each new charge escalates in severity.
