What Are Theft Crimes?

Florida law recognizes several different types of theft-related offenses. Depending on the circumstances, a person may face allegations involving:

• Petit theft
• Grand theft
• Retail theft or shoplifting
• Burglary
• Robbery
• Motor vehicle theft
• Possession of stolen property
• Fraud-related theft offenses
• Identity theft
• Other property crimes

The specific charge can depend on the value or type of property involved, how the property was allegedly obtained, and the circumstances surrounding the alleged offense.

Petit Theft and Grand Theft

Florida generally distinguishes between petit theft and grand theft based on factors such as the value and nature of the property allegedly taken.

Petit theft is generally associated with lower-value property and may be classified as a misdemeanor. Grand theft involves circumstances that can result in felony charges and more serious penalties.

The classification of a theft offense can have a significant effect on the potential consequences of a conviction.
