HaHa\n\n\nIf you 'steal' your car back they will probably find you within a day unless you are pretty good.  \n\nWhen they catch you it will be grand theft as well as all costs associated with repairing the things you broke to get the car. \n\nPaying the $400 to get your car out of the pound will be nothing!\n\na felony is no fun :(

It depends on the location of the assault - whether it is a misdemeanor or a felony.  It depends on the lawyer you have, the competence of the District Attorney and the judge.  For a first offense, it would most likely be probation and maybe some community service.

it's a crime that you report. So, no, don't report him unless you are prepared for him to be arrested for it. Then, you still have to prove your case in court, but hopefully that won't be too hard for you in this case.\n\nI think I would just warn him that if he ever does it again, you WILL report him. Because if you don't, he can mess up your life, your credit, your drivers license, etc. \n\nAlso, if you ever do decide to report him, tell him ahead of time and ask him to be honest with the judge, via his lawyer, and show remorse, and this could help to greatly reduce his penalty.\n\nProtect yourself first, give a guy a chance, but NEVER TOO MANY.

it all depends on what you are stealing and how old you are...If you are stealing from a retail store and you are under the age of 18 or above the age of 60 you can steal whatever you want and get away with it. Now if you are stealing large amounts of money you will probably land yourself in prison for 20 years...I would personally choose the first one, I just have to wait until I'm 60.

Grand larceny has four different degrees, each of them with different sentences. Grand larceny in the first degree, involving the theft of $1 million or more, is a Class B felony, and the maximum sentence is 25 years, the minimum not less than one year nor more than one-third of the maximum term imposed. Each lesser charge of grand larceny has a lower maximum. To see it all, go to the link below, and then find PEN (Penal) Title J, Article 155 for the definitions of Grand larceny and Title E, Article 70 for the sentences.

First drugs are illegal so a punishment goes there.\nUnder the use of drugs an act of crime occurs, may not have if accused was clean.\nConsider priors he/she may have.\nThen put together a jail term and a drug rehab program.\nI would suggest  a 3 to 5 year  sentence and less time for good behavior.  \nYes you are right about a killing being less time. That really stinks.

File a claim with the police.  File a claim with your insurance company.  Neither one will result in getting the merchandise back or any money, but it will establish a record of the crime.  This will help if you catch the same people in the act next time.\n\nAnother precaution you can take (besides locking up the car and house securely and/or with an alarm) is to engrave a code number on your stuff, and write down the code number on a separate piece of paper that you put in safe-keeping.  Then if you know who took the stuff, the police can check for the code number you provide them, and that will be enough evidence for them to reclaim the property and charge the criminals.\n\nGood luck!

if I'm not mistaken, petty theft/misdemeanor retail theft (a.k.a. shoplifting) is a class "C" misdemeanor, in which case the "suspect" be fined as much as $1500; in this case it would provably be less than that because of the low value of the item. In more serious offences a 30 day jail sentence may also be given in addition to the fine. How tough the sentence is rests largely on how favorable the judge that tries the case is. If it's their first offence, the judge is most likely to grant probation.

Penal Code Section 273.5 is pretty long and discusses penalties for both felony and misdemeanor convictions.  For a first conviction that is a misdemeanor, the penalty is a maximum incarceration in county jail for not more than one year, or a fine of up to six thousand dollars ($6,000) or both.  You can read the entire code section at the link below.

Depending on what the first one was meaning the charge.  It could be dropped to a wreckless Operation charge if the first one wasnt.  Other than that, you will probably spend some time, pay a fine and enter into some type of drug and alcohol counseling.  GET A GOOD ATTORNEY!
