Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia
statute of limitations
What is the statute of limitations in Virginia for vandalism? Someone vandalized my car in 2007 and it cost me thousands of dollars but I tried to handle the issue with my insurance company, I didn�t realize that I needed to talk to the police until now. Is it too late?

The statute of limitations for the destruction of property (civil) is five years. However, for criminal prosecution as a misdemeanor offense, the
action must be brought within one year of the incident.
