  • Theft — unlawfully appropriating property or services with the intent to deprive the owner
  • Burglary — unlawfully entering a building or habitation with the intent to commit a theft, felony, or assault
  • Identity theft — fraudulently obtaining or using someone else's personal identifying information for financial gain

Each type of theft charge carries its own set of statutory penalties, ranging from misdemeanor fines to serious felony prison sentences and lasting damage to your criminal record.
