what should be the punishment of grand larceny when its the first offense by the convicted person? 30000 worth

likely some jail time, considering the amount in question.  since it's the 1st offense, i wouldn't say it's a significant am't of time.  restitution is a given, and probation thereafter...at least 18 mos.

so i take it u were arrested for this?  okay, a $10 item is like theft in the 3rd degree.  it's like petty theft.  nothing warranting a big to do.  if the store is pressing charges, then yeah, u will have to do the whole court thing.  get a lawyer IMMEDIATELY.  Request a court appointed one if u can't afford it.  Plead NOT GUILTY during ur first court appearance (arraignment).  The burden is on the state to prove its case.  Don't hand it over on a silver platter.  Things can happen by the time u r  scheduled to go to trial.  Charges could be dismissed due to lack of evidence, etc.  Ok, if things don't go ur way, and u eventually agree to a plea deal, u will NOT get jail time for a $10 theft.  the justice dept has much bigger fish to fry (like rapists, child molesters, etc.) than to imprison u for your petty theft.  U will just have to pay restitution (in other words, pay the store $10 for its loss) and court fees.  U will be put on probation and likely have to do a few community service hours.  If u r lucky, u will be able to swing a "deferred sentence" whereby u will NOT have this on your record if u "keep your nose clean" from problems for a designated amt of time.

Grand theft in CA is anything over $400. Check CA penal code 487.

Penalty depends on the value of the menchandise stolen. It can range from a misdemenor if it falls within a certain amount, and a felony, when it falls within another amount.

Theft II is a class C Felony. The MAXIMUM penalty for a class C Felony in Washington State is five years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine. Depending on a persons criminal record, they may only get a fine and some time doing house arrest or work release.

A first time conviction for having less than 30 grams is most likely dropped to a disorderly conduct which includes a fine up to but not more than $369.99 and a 30 day licsence suspension more than 30 grams and it varies

The court should order the criminal to pay the restitution to the clerk of court, and the clerk should write you a check. \n\nAlso, see if there's a "victim's restitution fund". If so, you may be able to collect all of your money upfront, and the criminal can pay that fund back later.

When they get caught, try them in front of the largest possable audience and televise the trial.When they are convicted, throw the longest sentence possable and fine them and their families into poverty.If a few honest lawmakers and judges can be found to enforce a stern policy,thieves and grafters will think twice before the put their hands into the till.

Yes 250 is the cutoff in Massachusetts\nas defined in ALM GL ch. 266, § 30 (2005):\n\n(5) Whoever steals or with intent to defraud obtains by a false pretense, or whoever unlawfully, and with intent to steal or embezzle, converts, or secretes with intent to convert, the property of another, sixty years of age or older, or of a person with a disability as defined in section thirteen K of chapter two hundred and sixty-five, whether such property is or is not in his possession at the time of such conversion or secreting, shall be guilty of larceny, and shall, if the value of the property exceeds two hundred and fifty dollars, be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for not more than ten years or in the house of correction for not more than two and one-half years, or by a fine of not more than fifty thousand dollars or by both such fine and imprisonment; or if the value of the property does not exceed TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS, shall be punished by imprisonment in the house of correction for not more than two and one-half years or by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars or by both such fine and imprisonment. The court may order, regardless of the value of the property, restitution to be paid to the victim commensurate with the value of the property.

Depends on the crime.

There are several parts to your question that needs defining, first are we talking a misdemenor (ie small theft under $50) or a felony? Depending on what is charged ther are limitations based on federal guidelines (if government property) or your local state. Whithout accurate information on what theft occured and in what state it is almost impossible to answer.

There is no general answer.  It depends on the jurisdiction, and then it depends on the particular judge what to do at sentencing time.  Most states take into consideration now whether this is a first offense or repeat offender, the property taken and whether anyone was actually hurt in the theft and so forth.

1st offense you might skate by with probation and restitution, if not you are looking at some time.

It depends how much you steal.  In some jurisdictions, theft of as little as $100.00 is a felony.  In some, theft of anything can be a felony if you have prior convictions.  In others, you need to steal $1000.00 or more.
