Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

What is the possible charge for this offencse

Ok my car was broken into at the mall the other day. Someone did the basic smash and grab. They busted my window with something and stole a few items not of much value and my ash tray full of change. Now is this crime a felony because they broke my window even though they only took probably 50-100 dollars worth of things? I looked up the statue and if I am right it could be a five year felony even though it was only 50 dollars worth of things stolen. Even though I would like the person caught I would truley hate to see someone spend 5 years in prison for this petty crime.

Why do you care about the person who broke into your car and stole your stuff? This is a police matter and they will follow the law. Tim Klisz
