Grand vs. Petty Theft

Major and minor theft crimes are separated by the value of the item stolen and by the manner in which it was stolen. Petty theft crimes include shoplifting of an item worth less than $950 and are generally charged as misdemeanors.

Grand theft items are generally worth more, with the exception of farm-related property, crop, and livestock. Teft of these items come with harsher penalities and are therefore often charged as felonies.

What is Considered Grand Theft in California?

In California, grand theft is the theft of any property that is valued at $950 or greater. Grand theft is a felony and can result in serious penalties such as prison time for the following terms depending on the circumstances surrounding the case:

• Three years
• Two years
• 16 months
