Theft Crimes

San Diego Criminal Defense Lawyer

Theft itself is defined as the unlawful taking of another's property. Viewed on a broader scale, theft crimes include any of a number of actions that are carried out in the attempt to obtain another's property. Theft may be committed in a violent or non-violent manner and with or without the victim ever knowing. A theft crime may be carried out by creating a scheme that is meant to defraud others, and may involve any type of physical property as well as a person's identity.

About San Diego County Theft Charges

Because theft crimes include such a broad range of criminal offenses, it is difficult to say what potential penalties a defendant may face without thoroughly evaluating his or her particular case. A petty theft offense such as shoplifting, for example, will likely be charged as a misdemeanor and it is doubtful that a defendant would face imprisonment. Mail fraud, on the other hand, is a serious federal crime that may result in $1,000,000 in fines and up to 20 years of imprisonment, if a federally insured financial institution is targeted.
