In the State of Florida, theft crimes vary considerably regarding the severity of legal consequences and charges. The general crime of theft is governed by Florida Statute § 812.014.

This statute details the elements of the crime of theft and sets a number of threshold values for determining the type of theft offense committed with each case. Theft offenses differ based on the value of the stolen items as well as the manner in which the items were taken.
