What are the Penalties for Auto Theft?

Theft may be classified as a misdemeanor or a felony depending on the value of property involved as well as other factors, such as the defendant's criminal record, whether a weapon was used, and the manner in which the crime was committed (by force, threats or without the victim's knowledge). Auto theft is generally a felony due to the fact that the vehicle will be worth at least $500. Stolen property valued at $500 or more will classify the offense as grand theft.

A defendant may face serious criminal penalties for a motor vehicle theft conviction in Atlanta, particularly if he or she took the vehicle by force and against the victim's will. In this situation, auto theft would be classified as a form of robbery: carjacking. Kidnapping may even be related to auto theft charges in some situations if there was a passenger in the vehicle at the time it was taken.
