Theft by Taking

The Georgia court system considers theft by taking to be a serious offense. Individuals may be charged with a felony or a misdemeanor depending on the facts of the case. If an individual steals good or property valued at $500 or less, the charge is a misdemeanor. If the value of the goods or property stolen is more than $500, the charge could be a felony.
