The Penalties for Property Crimes & Theft
The penalties for a property crime or theft conviction are as varied as the crimes themselves. Factors that can influence sentencing include the value of stolen or damaged property, a defendant's criminal history, whether violence was involved, and the type of crime committed.
A misdemeanor conviction for shoplifting, for example, can come with penalties of up to six months in jail and/or a fine of as much as $1,000. As another example, felony theft convictions can result in three years of imprisonment and up to $10,000 in fines. Regardless of the offense, courts can order restitution to the victims of property crimes and thefts.
In addition to criminal penalties, a conviction for property and theft crimes can have long-lasting consequences on your personal and professional life. It can affect your ability to obtain employment, secure housing, and even hold certain licenses or certifications.

Charged with Vandalism in Los Angeles County? Trust Us to Defend You.
Vandalism involves defacing, destroying, or otherwise damaging public/private property. Examples of it include:
- Keying a car or slashing tires
- Leaving graffiti on walls, signs, etc.
- Smashing the mailboxes in a neighborhood
- Destroying or damaging someone else’s personal property during an argument or as an act of revenge
Although vandalism is often considered a “petty” crime, the penalties for a conviction can be serious. They might include thousands of dollars in fines and restitution, probation or jail time, and the mandatory restoration or cleanup of the property (if possible).
At Zarabi Law, we take vandalism cases very seriously. If you have been accused of this crime, we can aggressively pursue numerous defenses. Our team can argue that someone else defaced the property, you destroyed the property accidentally, you had permission from the property owner to act as you did, or you actually were the property owner. The right approach will depend on the circumstances of your case and our detailed assessment of the evidence.
