Compare the two major categories of larceny and theft, and describe how to determine them, giving an example for each category

What will be an ideal response?


Most statutes have two major categories of larceny/theft based on the total value of the property stolen. The categories of larceny/theft are grand larceny, a felony; and petty larceny, a misdemeanor. Which category the crime falls under is based on the value of the property stolen. In many states, the amount of theft that predicates grand larceny is $100 or more; any lesser amount is petty (petit) larceny. An example of grand larceny would be stealing a car; an example of petty larceny would be stealing a kitchen chair.
