Theft in the State of Illinois is prosecuted as petty or grand theft, as a misdemeanor or felony, and the statute of limitations changes based on these variables. The terms theft, larceny, and various types of theft used to define the thief's actions can also affect the statute of limitations for the crime.

Statutes of Limitations
A statute of limitations is "a type of federal or state law that restricts the time within which legal proceedings may be brought," according to The Free Dictionary's Legal Dictionary by Farlex. Most states, including Illinois, have a statute of limitations on all crimes but murder. In most instances, the statute of limitations is measured from the time the act was committed, although in some types of theft cases the statute of limitations is measured from the time the crime was discovered, within certain limits.

Defining Theft and Larceny
Theft is usually defined as the unlawful taking of another person’s property without their consent and with the intent to permanently deprive the victim of the property. Larceny, a related term, deals with particular theft crimes such as robbery, fraud and embezzlement. Theft crimes can be prosecuted in two ways: as misdemeanors, known as petty theft, which carry sentences measured in months rather than years, or as felonies, known as grand theft, which carry sentences upwards of one year and one day in jail.

Determining Statutes of Limitations in Illinois
According to Ramsell and Associates, L.L.C.'s "Illinois Felony Theft Defense" page, types of theft that can be prosecuted as felony theft are: "retail theft valued at more than $300; possession of large amounts of stolen property; car theft; credit card theft; armed robbery; felony larceny; fraud; [and] embezzlement." If the theft crime is designated a felony, the statute of limitations as of the time of publication is three years. If the theft crime does not fall into one of these categories and is designated a misdemeanor, the statute of limitations during which the crime can be prosecuted is one year. There are extended limitations for some circumstances, for example when a party was a minor or disabled, or in circumstances where the crime was not immediately discovered. In these cases, it is best to contact a lawyer to help determine whether your case is still within its statute of limitations.

안녕하세요

각 주마다 법이 다르므로 정확한 조언을 드리기는 어렵겠지만, 캘리포니아 법에 의한 조언을 드리겠으니 참고만 하시기 바라겠습니다.

해당 체인마켓에서 추가적으로 경찰에 신고를 하지 않고, 별도의 민사소송을 하지 않는다면, 관련 기록이 남게 되지는 않을듯 사료됩니다.

감사합니다.

너무 걱정마세요..
저희 아들도 15세때 Walmart에서 물건을 훔치다 걸렷는데...초범이고 청소년이다 보니 경찰엔 Report를 안하더라구요...Walmart에서 전화가 와서 갔더니 그쪽 Security에서 애를 보호 하고 있더라구요... 제 면허증을 주고 주소주고 페이퍼 한장에 싸인 했더니...몇일뒤 Walmart 변호사에게서 편지가 와서 물건 값의 10배 정도 보상하라고 해서 그 돈 줫더니 그이후로 아무 문제가 없었습니다. 또한 그 일이후 아들은 그 해당 Walmart 출입이 1년 정지 되더라구요...청소년 시절에 한두번은 격는 일인거 같아요...그리고 훔친 물건 값이 몇십불 정도 이고 초범이면 크게 신경 안쓰셔도 됩니다, 이후 저희 아들은 시민권도 받고 대학교도 가서 지금은 어엿한 직장을 다니고 있습니다..... 참고하세요
