How much stolen money is a felony in Idaho?

Answer 1

It's not quite that simple.

Idaho law says that "grand theft" is a felony and "petit theft" is a misdemeanor. So far so good.

What constitutes "grand theft", though is more complicated than just "how much".

Simple case first: If it's over $1000, then it's definitely grand theft (and therefore a felony).

However, it can also be "grand theft" in certain other cases. For example, the theft of ANY amount of anhydrous ammonia is considered grand theft, and if you steal it from "the person" of another (as opposed to stealing it from their house), or extort it from them by threatening them with physical harm, it's also grand theft no matter how little the actual amount is.

See section 18-2407 of the Idaho statues if you want the complete list of what is considered to be "grand theft".
