Common Types of Theft Crimes
What is Petty Theft?
Also known as “petit theft,” petty theft is often considered a minor charge, as it is usually associated with light shoplifting. But it can bring serious penalties based on the value of the stolen goods.
There are three degrees of petty theft charges in Florida:
Petty theft of the first degree
Petty theft of the second degree
Petty theft of the third degree

What is Grand Theft?
Grand theft is a felony offense in which the value of the stolen goods is more than $750. That means even shoplifting (felony shoplifting) may fall into this category.
The state classifies grand theft into three degrees. The value and the type of the stolen goods/property—such as whether it was a firearm, motor vehicle, farm animal, or even a citrus fruit—will be considered.
