Auto theft is charged as a felony when someone takes a vehicle belonging to another, worth $950 or more, without permission, with the intent to deprive the true owner of the vehicle. It is charged as a misdemeanor if the value of the vehicle is less than $950. A similar charge of receiving stolen property (the vehicle) is sometimes concurrently alleged, particularly if the actual taking is in question. #autotheft #californialaw #stolenvehicle
