Grand Theft

Grand theft refers to the criminal act of stealing property or possessions that are of significant value, typically defined by law as exceeding a certain monetary threshold. Unlike petty theft, which involves smaller amounts, grand theft involves more serious charges and penalties. The specific threshold for what constitutes grand theft can vary by jurisdiction, but it generally includes items like cars, expensive electronics, or large sums of money. Convictions for grand theft can result in severe consequences, including fines and imprisonment, reflecting the greater severity of this crime compared to lesser theft offenses.
