Theft is the unlawful or unauthorized taking of another individual’s property without that person’s consent, and with the intention of denying the rightful owner of that property.
In Pennsylvania, the severity of a penalty for a theft conviction depends on the total value of the property taken, as well as the circumstances in which it was taken. Depending on the nature of the theft crime, you may be facing charges for a misdemeanor or a felony, and may face hefty fines, community service, restitution, and jail time. If you have been charged with a theft crime, contact an attorney as soon as possible.
