Pennsylvania Theft Crimes

Theft refers to the illegal act of taking another persons property without consent or authorization.  There are many types of theft crimes: robbery, burglary, identity theft, carjacking, shoplifting, etc. There are two categories of theft: petty theft and grand theft. Petty theft generally involves the theft of property that is valued at $500 or less. If the value of the property stolen is more than $500, it is a grand theft.

A theft crime can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony offense, depending on the specific circumstances surrounding your case. If convicted for a theft crime, possible penalties include jail time, probation, parole, restitution and community service.
