How is Theft Classified?

Under Florida law, theft is defined in two ways:

  • as the taking or use of someone else’s property in an attempt to permanently or temporarily divest someone of their property or the benefit of their property
  • to appropriate the use of someone else’s property for the use of someone not designated to benefit from the property.
