Penalties for Grand Theft in California
Grand theft is the taking of someone else’s property – valued at $400 or more – in an unlawful manner. If the value of the stolen property is less than $400, you will generally be charged with the lesser crime of petty theft. In some cases of grand theft, the value of the property is irrelevant, such as when the items stolen were a firearm, an automobile, certain animals, or property that was carried by another person.
To add even more complexity, some items must only be valued over $100 to constitute a grand theft charge, such as certain foods and actions like stealing oil, water or another resource from a person’s land. Prosecutors can charge grand theft as either a misdemeanor or felony, depending on various circumstances. A misdemeanor conviction can bring up to a year in jail, while a felony conviction can result in prison time of 16 months to 3 years.
