Larceny is theft/stealing, the taking of anothers property with the intent to permanently deprive them of the property. Whether it's a misdemeanor or a felony depends on what the dollar amounts are in your particular state. On average $1000.00 or more in value of the item(s) taken makes the larceny a felony. Below that amount is either a petty misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor.
ADDED: In addition to dollar limitation on the amount which differentiates a misdemeanor and a felony - - there is the jail time specified in the statute. Any jail time of NOT MORE THAN one year is a misdemeanor.
Felony larceny is stealing something that is worth over a certain of value. In some states that amount is $5,000 and in some it is $10,000. Conviction can often lead to long prison terms.
Theft of goods under $100. If done aggressively, the amount starts at $5.00 rather than $100.00.
Typically a first time violation of a theft less than or equal to $250.
The terms 'petty/petit' larceny and 'grand' larceny refer to the dollar amount of the stolen item's (check your local statutes to determine the separating point). Two petty larcenies, committed at separate times, don't "add up" to a grand larceny.
