What is the punishment for larceny in Kentucky?

Answer 1

Stealing less than $500.00 worth of merchandise is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to 1 year in the county jail and/or a fine of up to $1,000.00. If the shoplifting case is charged as a municipal violation rather than a state misdemeanor, the typical range of punishment is up to 6 months in jail and/or a fine of up to $500.00.

Whether a person receives diversion, probation, or a reduction in charges will depend upon the prosecutor, the strength of any defenses the person may have, and the individual's criminal history.

1-3 years in prison for first time offenders, maybe 5 depending on how much the car costs. Also a large fine so if you don't wanna get caught, then don't do it in the first place...

Added: If you take it across state lines it becomes a federal offense.
