Theft by Taking

Theft by taking is a serious matter in Georgia. Theft by taking can be charged as a misdemeanor for goods valued at less than $500, but for theft of any property over $500, the state can charge you with a felony.

Theft by taking is the legal term used for what most people think of when they think of theft – it is when someone unlawfully takes possession of any property belonging to someone else. How, why, or when the property was taken doesn’t matter. The simple fact that you have possession of someone else’s property can result in you being charged, and possibly convicted of theft by taking.
