Petty theft is a crime involving moral turpitude, but if it is the first crime ever, that you have committed, they might cut you some slack under the "petty offense exception", which means that it is your ONLY crime ever and you were sentenced to one year and ACTUALLY served 6 months or less. otherwise you have to make sure that if you were convicted, you were sentenced to 1year or less and you ACTUALLY served 6 months or less in jail. If you have already pled guilty and sentenced / served 1year or more, you should quickly get an attorney(like me) to withdraw the guilty plea and vacate the conviction before INS catches up to you!!! Good luck.

In Nebraska, grand theft is characterized by stealing property worth more than $1,500 or certain types of property like firearms, vehicles, or livestock. Petty theft, on the other hand, involves stealing property valued at less than $500. The distinction between grand theft and petty theft is based on the value of the stolen property.
Grand theft typically involves stealing property with a higher value, above a certain threshold set by each state, while petty theft involves stealing property with a lower value. Grand theft is considered a felony in most jurisdictions, carrying more severe penalties compared to petty theft, which is usually classified as a misdemeanor. The specific dollar amounts that differentiate between grand theft and petty theft can vary depending on the jurisdiction.
