An
act of theft occurs when an individual
knowingly and
intentionally obtains or exerts unauthorized control over the
property of another, with intent to deprive the owner of his or her
property.
The theft of
property or assets includes not only simply taking without
authorization or knowledge of the owner of the property or assets,
but also when the use of deception to gain control over the property
of another, or deceiving law enforcement during a property or asset
dispute by claiming the property or assets in question was stolen.
There are two basic levels of theft:
Petit Theft,
commonly called petty theft, involves property or
assets of less than $300.00. Petit Theft is a
misdemeanor criminal offense which is punishable by
up to 1 year in jail.
Grand Theft
involves property or assets of $300.00 or greater.
Grand Theft is a felony criminal offense which is
punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
