Under California law, Grand Theft is the unlawful taking of another person’s property, money, or labor valued over $950, or specific types of property (like automobiles or firearms) regardless of value.
Unlike "petty theft" (which is generally under $950), grand theft is a "wobbler" offense, meaning it can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony depending on the circumstances, the defendant’s criminal record, and the value of the property.
The defendant was not the person who committed the theft.
