Which value range defines a state jail felony for cargo theft?

• A. $1,500 - $10,000
• B. $10,000 - $100,000
• C. $100,000 - $200,000
• D. $200,000+

Answer: (A)

The level of theft is determined by how much value is taken. For cargo theft, the statute fixes a specific value window that places the offense at the state jail felony level. If the stolen cargo is worth between 1,500 and 10,000 dollars, it falls into this category, meaning the offender can be charged with a state jail felony. This reflects a mid-range loss: more serious than a misdemeanor, but not reaching the higher felony levels.

If the value is below 1,500, the offense would generally be treated as a misdemeanor, and if the value exceeds 10,000, it would be classified as a more serious felony, not a state jail felony.
