Any amount is considered larceny (refered to as "theft" in MD's law). Even stealing a fraction of a cent worth of property is theft. The only difference is the reaction of the person stolen from and the police if they are called. That is to say, most people would probably forgive a theft of 1 cent and not bother doing anything, but by the letter of the law it is still theft.

Theft under $1000 dollars is also a misdemeanor. 18 months and/or $500

Theft between $1,000 and $10,000 is a felony. 10 years and/or $10,000

Between $10,000 and $100,000 is a felony. 15 years and/or $15,000

More than $100,000 is a felony. 25 years and/or $25,000

Grand theft is when someone steals more than certain amount determined in that state laws. Usually over a thousand dollars, but it can vary from state to state.
