Re: Grand theft?

If the amount is considerably less than $400 then you might be in a situation where petty theft is involved and dismissal might be possible if you have clean record. Existence of burglary tools does not help your cause but everything always depends on specific facts and consequences. You should retain an attorney to attempt to intervene on your case prior to filing of any charges. Feel free to give me a call for free consultation.
