What are the penalties for a theft crime?
The penalties for a theft crime depend largely on the crime at hand, and whether you are facing felony or misdemeanor charges. In general, most theft crimes are punishable by imprisonment, large fines, probation, community service, restitution to the victim, and a mark on your permanent record. However, certain factors, such as having a criminal history or using a weapon to commit the offense, will increase the penalties for a theft crimes conviction.
