The short and truthful answer to “How much will this cost?” is: it depends.
Theft occurs when someone unlawfully takes or receives another person’s property. Punishments vary depending on the value of the property. For example, shoplifting property worth between $50 and $500 is a Class B misdemeanor, with penalties ranging of zero to six months in jail and a fine up to $2,000. If the stolen property is worth $1,500 or more, the theft is a felony, with significantly higher penalties including prison.
Being charged with theft can be a stressful and humiliating experience. It’s a broad offense, covering anything from passing a bad check to shoplifting, theft of services, or complex white-collar fraud. Conviction can have far-reaching consequences including hefty fines and jail time, not to mention damage to a person’s reputation. Having a conviction on record can also create barriers to finding employment and providing for one’s family.
