What is the statute of limitations for theft?

Answer 1

It will depend on the laws in the jurisdiction in question. It could be anything from 1 to 3 years if it is a misdemeanor. If it is a felony, it is possible there is no limit. You will have to consult a local attorney.

Answer 2

The statute of limitations on check fraud in the state of Minnesota is five years. There are few exceptions such as if you did not live in the state for all five years.

Answer 3

That would normally depend on whether it is a felony or a misdemeanor. But in Minnesota both are set at three years.

Answer 4

In Minnesota the limit varies based on the size of theft. It could be 9 years if over $35,000 or 6 years otherwise.
