Grand theft

Grand theft or grand larceny is a category used to rank a significant severity of crime associated with theft.

Generally, in the United States it is defined as intentional taking property of others in an amount exceeding the state statutory amount.

Grand theft occurs when an action that occurred meets the criteria for the applicable jurisdiction.

Grand theft by state

In the United States, a theft is determined felony grand theft instead of misdemeanor petty theft by the dollar amount of what was stolen. The dollar amount for grand theft varies from state to state. Depending on the circumstances, some states classify an incident as felony grand theft, even though the dollar amount that was stolen is less than the specified felony grand theft dollar amount. The current felony grand theft dollar amount for each state can be viewed on Stolen Lost Found Online.

Alaska

The Alaska State Code does not use the terms "grand theft" or "grand larceny." However, it specifies that theft of property valued at more than $500 is a felony whereas thefts of lesser amounts are misdemeanors. The felony categories (class 1 and class 2 theft) also include theft of firearms; property taken from the person of another; vessel or aircraft safety or survival equipment; and access devices.
