Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The charge of theft involves the unlawful taking of someone else's property with the intention of permanently depriving them of it. The value of the wallet and the money contained within it would be relevant in determining the severity of the theft charge (e.g. petty theft vs grand theft) but not in the determination of the charge itself. Robbery involves the use of force or threat of force in the taking of someone else's property, and the value of the stolen items is not relevant to the charge. Burglary involves the illegal entry of a building or dwelling with the intent to commit a crime, and the value of the stolen items is not relevant to the charge. Embezzlement involves the theft of money or property by someone who is in a position of trust, and the value of the stolen items may be relevant to the severity of the charge but not the charge itself.
