Theft & Burglary
Most theft charges are classified and penalized according to the dollar value of the property stolen. For example, the lowest-level theft offense is usually referred to as petty theft or larceny, and its threshold for escalation can be as low as $1,000 in Tennessee. In short, the penalties become more serious as the dollar value of the property stolen increases.
