A quick definition of Petit larceny:

Term: Petit larceny

Definition: Petit larceny is when someone takes something that doesn't belong to them, but the thing they took is worth less than a certain amount of money. This amount is decided by the law and can be different in different places. Usually, it's between $100 and $500. If someone takes something worth more than that, it's called grand larceny.

A more thorough explanation:

Petit larceny

Petit larceny is a type of theft where someone steals property that is worth less than a certain amount set by law. The amount varies by state, but it is usually between $100 and $500. This is different from grand larceny, which involves stealing property that is worth more than the amount set by law.

  • Stealing a $50 purse from a store would be considered petit larceny.
  • Taking a $200 bike from someone's yard would also be petit larceny.
  • However, stealing a $1,000 laptop would be considered grand larceny.

These examples illustrate the definition of petit larceny because they involve stealing property that is worth less than the amount set by law. In both cases, the stolen items are worth less than the cutoff amount, so they would be considered petit larceny. The third example involves stealing property that is worth more than the cutoff amount, so it would be considered grand larceny instead.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
