Theft crimes are considered offenses of moral turpitude. This means that the individual gets involved in fraudulent activities that show a lack of acceptable morals. Offenses of moral immorality may have serious consequences and negatively affect an individual’s immigration status, employment prospects, and educational opportunities.

Individuals convicted of theft offenses are likely to face additional consequences, which include probation, fines, jail time, civil penalties, and embarrassment. Most of the common theft cases include burglary, robbery, receiving stolen items, automobile burglary, shoplifting (petty theft), illegal use of an unauthorized vehicle, and grand theft.
