Below is a guide to help you understand the\nlevels of punishment for different values of theft in Indiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

📿 Under $750 = Class A Misdemeanor<\/p>\n\n\n\n

🚙 Between $750 & $ 49,000 = Level 6 Felony<\/p>\n\n\n\n

⛵ Over $50,000 = Level 5 Felony<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do You Qualify for Expungement?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
