In cases where property of relatively low value is stolen, petty or petit theft charges may result. States often place a specific dollar figure, such as $500 or $1,000, as the upper limit for petty theft charges.
By law, a first time retail theft arrest with a value under $300 is classified as a Class A misdemeanor and carries a punishment of up to a year in jail and a $2500 fine. If the value of the items taken is above $300, Illinois classifies the retail theft as a Class 4 felony punishable by 1-3 years in prison along with a fine of up to $25,000.
