What is a Theft Crime?
Theft crimes refer to illegally taking another person's possessions, indentity, or property without consent. Some theft crimes are only misdemeanor offenses while others are solely felony offenses. Also, theft crimes are often tied in with White Collar crimes.

However, many of these types of offenses are commonly referred to as “wobblers.” A “wobbler” offense is a crime that, in the discretion of the district or city lawyer, can be filed as misdemeanors or felonies.

Some of the considerations used in determining how to file these crimes are:

• The value of what was taken
• The seriousness of the conduct
• Whether there are prior convictions

A psychological evaluation is also helpful in a theft case, even if the defendant is a repeat offender. Several factors such as domestic problems, childhood issues, work related-stress can cause unusual behavior. Many times these factors can account for a significantly reduced sentence.

The following are some examples of Theft Crimes:
