Examples of felony and misdemeanor property crimes include:
- Burglary
- Larceny
- Grand theft auto / motor vehicle theft
- Retail theft or shoplifting
- Vandalism
Penalties for property crimes vary depending on the value of the stolen property and other factors (such as prior offenses, weapons used, or third party injuries that occurred), but punishment can be severe.
