Although theft crimes are common in the state of Washington, those facing charges of theft can be punished severely. Unfortunately, many people who are accused and tried for theft crimes are honest, hardworking citizens with families who make a bad decision in the heat of the moment or an isolated mistake.
Examples Of Theft Crimes
- Shoplifting
- Petty theft
- Burglary
- Robbery
- Grand theft
- Embezzlement
Even if you just made a mistake or had a one time lapse in judgement, if you are convicted of a theft crime in the state of Washington, you may be facing significant penalties. All theft crimes will go on your permanent criminal record and although you may eventually be able to have your records vacated, for a period of time your conviction will show up on background checks. This can make it exceptionally challenging to obtain employment, and you may even have trouble getting a professional license, a loan or even an apartment.
