Taken from:Quote:
n Iowa, the seriousness of the charge for theft offenses depends on the amount of loss and prior convictions. A simple shoplifting case of property valued under $200.00 will carry less serious punishment than other types of theft, unless the accused has prior convictions.
Examples of theft offenses are charged as follows:
Property not exceeding $200.00 –5th Degree, a simple misdemeanor
Property value of $200.01 and $500.00 – 4th Degree, a serious misdemeanor
Property value of $500.01 and $1,000.00 – 3rd Degree, an aggravated misdemeanor
Property valued between $1,000.01 and $10,000.00 – 2nd Degree, a class D felony
Property exceeding $10,000.00 –1st Degree, a class C felony
