Types Of Theft Crimes in Colorado

There are many different types of theft crimes. In Colorado, theft may be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony depending on the value of property allegedly taken, the circumstances surrounding the act, the defendant's criminal history, whether a weapon was used, and if violence or threats were involved.

The following are considered theft crimes:

• Larceny: Larceny is the unlawful taking of another person's property without that person's consent. Shoplifting is an example of larceny. In Colorado, larceny involving less than $300 is considered petty theft. Theft of anything worth $300 to less than $2,000 may be charged as a misdemeanor, and theft of property valued at $2,000 or more may be charged as a felony.
• Burglary: Burglary is the unlawful entry into a structure with the intent to commit a crime. Because burglary is often associated with theft, many consider it a theft crime. However, a person could face burglary charges for breaking and entering with the intent to commit a different crime.
• Robbery: Robbery is a type of theft crime that involves the unlawful taking of another person's property by force or fear. Examples of robbery include mugging and carjacking. Because it involves threats or acts of violence, robbery is also considered a violent crime.

As a theft crime defense attorney, I can be instrumental in helping those facing theft charges. One of the first things I would do is assess the strength of the prosecution's case against my client. This would involve examining the evidence and interviewing witnesses to determine whether the prosecution has a strong case. If the evidence is weak, I may be able to negotiate a plea bargain or have the charges reduced or dismissed. Ultimately, my goal is to protect my client's rights and interests, and to achieve the best possible outcome in their case—no matter the circumstances or the odds.
