Frank Fernandez is a Massachusetts Thefts Crime Defense Lawyer
In Massachusetts, the degree of a theft crime depends on the value of the items taken as well as whether the defendant has any prior record for stealing. Stolen goods with a value greater that $250 makes a larceny a felony.
Types of theft crimes are:
Shoplifting
Petty larceny (under $250)
Grand larceny (over $250)
Larceny by false pretense
Larceny by scheme
Being a common and notorious thief
Conversion (when one person converts another person's property to his or her own use — another legal term for stealing)
Larceny by check
Uttering (an attempt to cash a check or otherwise place it in circulation, and in so doing to implying that the check and the endorsement are both genuine)
Check forgery
Embezzlement
Receiving stolen property
Auto theft or Larceny of a Motor Vehicle
Receiving stolen vehicles
Theft crimes could obviously lead to a jail sentence but also may have an affect on your ability to find work. Employers often perform background checks and can use a conviction for theft as a reason to deny a job applicant a position.
