It is considered by many people that flying an American flag upside down is a form of desecration against the country. However, this is not an illegal act. Flying the American flag upside down is actually a sign of distress and is treated in such a manner.
American flag
According to the US Flag Code, the US Flag should be larger in size and (if flying on the same pole), at the top of the pole. If flying the American flag with a state flag, the American flag needs to be on a taller pole than the state flag and displayed on the flag's right side. If flying them on poles of equal size, then flying the American flag on the flag's right side is correct.
There is no American flag. Each country has its own.
Theft is the permanent deprivation of property. By stealing the flag, you deprived the owner of it, and with the intention of disposing the flag, you have no intention of returning it. Yes, theft is a crime.

It is not illegal, but it is against tradition and protocol and would not be proper. The United States flag flies on top, then beneath that the state flag, and then beneath that, the Confederate flag may be flown.

It is not illegal, per se. It would be very disrespectful and a violation of the US Flag Code. However, the Flag Code holds no legal standing and includes no penalties for violations.
