What are the penalties for theft?

This is a question we often hear from our clients. If you're convicted, the judge's ruling will be based on...

The value of the stolen property-if the stolen items are worth $750 or less, misdemeanor penalties generally apply (Potential jail up to 1 year, restitution, and give up to $5,000). Felony charges apply for stolen items worth more than $750 (potential jail or more than 1 year restitution and give up to $10,000).
