Theft

Denver Criminal Attorney Defending Against Theft Charges

Defending People Charged in Denver, Boulder, Golden, Aurora, and Littleton, Colorado

The word "theft" is used as shorthand for all kinds of crimes involving property or money. It's usually defined as the unauthorized taking, keeping or using of another's property. But to be criminal theft, it has to go one step further. The person who took the property must intend to permanently deprive the owner of that property or its use. So a teenager "stealing" the family car for a joyride has not actually committed theft if they intend to return it.

Theft crimes range from minor theft from a car, bad checks, and shoplifting to major offenses of embezzlement, auto theft and armed robbery. It can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony crime in Colorado, depending upon the value of the property stolen and whether violence was used to commit the crime.

Any time a gun is used when committing a robbery, even if only a few dollars were stolen, it will be charged as a felony.
