No. A tort is a CIVIL wrong - not a criminal offense.

PETIT LARCENY (Petty Larceny) is the statutory legal description of a criminal offense, and that would be the formal charge in a criminal law case.

However in a civil case for monetary damages it might be addressed, or described somewhat differently (e.g.: wrongful conversion - taking property without right - etc)

What does petty larceny mean?

Petty larceny, also known as petty theft, refers to the crime of stealing items of relatively low value, typically defined by law as below a certain monetary threshold. It is considered a misdemeanor rather than a felony, which means it usually carries lighter penalties, such as fines or short jail sentences. The specific value that classifies theft as petty larceny can vary by jurisdiction.
