WHAT DOES A CHARGE OF Theft MEAN?
Theft is an expansive, somewhat vague term that is used to describe crimes classified in a number of categories and in varying degrees. In general, though, it is understood legally as the taking of the property of another with the intent to permanently deprive them of it. As the law sees it, you have to both take someone's property and have the intention of never giving it back. The second of these two requirements--intent--is where most cases fail.
If you’re facing theft charges, know your options
If your facing theft charges for the first time, you may be eligible for certain programs that could lead to getting your charges dropped or dismissed. If arrested on a misdemeanor theft charge, for forgery, or as a fraudulent offender, these programs may be an option for you.
