What is considered a theft crime?

In the state of California, a broad array of offenses can be considered "theft crimes," if they involve the illegal appropriation of another's property without their consent.  Some of these offenses include:

• Petty theft - According to Penal Code 484 and 488, petty theft involves the stealing of property whose value does not exceed $950.  Petty theft is a misdemeanor, but can be charged as a felony in the event of a second offense.
• Grand theft - According to Penal Code 487, grand theft involves the stealing of property that is over $950 in value.  It can be charged as a misdemeanor or as a felony, depending on the circumstances specific to each case.
• Grand theft auto - Theft of a vehicle is considered grand theft in our state, regardless of the vehicle's value.
• Burglary - This involves entering a structure with the intent to commit any type of theft.  Entering an "inhabited dwelling" (such as a house or apartment) can result in charges of residential burglary.
• Robbery - This involves the use of force, violence, or the threat of violence in order to illegally take property from another.
• Embezzlement - This is charged when a person steals or misappropriates property that is placed in his charge by the rightful owner (such as a business or investor).
