Penalties Upon Conviction

Petty theft is the crime of stealing property valued at less than $950, anything above this and you will be charged with grand theft. Stealing a car of any value incurs a grand theft charge, as well as the theft of any firearm regardless of its value.

If you are convicted of petty theft, then you could face up to six months in jail, and fines up to $1,000. If you are charged with grand theft, then you could face either misdemeanor or felony penalties as this crime is a wobbler.

Misdemeanor penalties in this case can carry up to one year in jail, while felony penalties can carry up to three years in California state prison.
