What is
“Theft”?
According to Florida
law, "A person commits theft if he or she
knowingly obtains or uses, or endeavors to
obtain or to use, the property of another
with intent to, either temporarily or
permanently: (a) deprive the other person of
a right to the property or a benefit from
the property, or (b) appropriate the
property to his or her own use or to the use
of any person not entitled to use the
property." Based on the value of the
property and the type of property stolen,
the severity of a theft offense can range
anywhere from a second degree misdemeanor to
a first degree felony. Aggravating factors
can significantly increase potential
punishments. Penalties for a theft
conviction can include long prison terms,
jail time, probation, and restitution
payments to the victim.
