crime, which is often called petit larceny, can still result in up to
a year of jail time. Whether you have been charged with a Class A misdemeanor
theft crime or a Class B felony, such as grand larceny, the

Civil penalties can also be imposed on individuals who are convicted of
committing theft crimes. You can be held civilly liable for damages that
you were convicted of committing against the owner or merchant of the
store from which the property was stolen.
You may be required to provide restitution for:
- The retail price of the merchandise
- A penalty that cannot exceed a total greater than five times the retail price
