“Theft” can be a pretty broad term. It may refer to any number of crimes described in Florida statutes, including:
In general, a person may be guilty of theft if he or she obtains or uses, or endeavors to obtain or to use, the property of another with intent to deprive that person. Theft always involves depriving a person or organization of property, but it is the value of this property that plays a large role in determining the severity of the charge and the punishment.
