In Missouri, the seriousness for theft offenses varies according to the amount stolen as well as prior convictions. The method of theft can also play a role in how a suspect is charged. Theft is the unlawful acquisition of goods or services and is often used to generically describe other theft related crimes, including:
- Shoplifting
- Misdemeanor Theft (under $500)
- Felony Theft ($500 or more)
- Check forgery
- Embezzlement
- Receiving stolen property
- Auto theft
- Receiving stolen vehicles
- Check kiting
- Robbery
- Burglary
A conviction for any type of theft crime may adversely affect current and/or future employment. For more serious offenses, a conviction could mean potential prison time. It is critical that you avoid a conviction of a theft crime, regardless of the seriousness.
