    Exclamation Statute of Limitation for Shoplifting Around $100

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: North Carolina

    Hello all, I have a few question involving my daughter shoplifting from best buy. Thanks in advance for any information.

    1. What is the statute of limitation for shoplifting a item costing $100 from best buy?
    2. What would it be classified as? Felony or misdemeanor?
    3. What does this mean? http://law.onecle.com/north-carolina...dure/15-1.html
    Does it mean that there is not statute of limitation for any theft over $5?
    4. Can they press charges after the statute of limitation expires if there is one.
    5. Can anything cause the statute of limitation to reset?
    6. What is the statute of limitation for a civil demand?

    Again thanks for any information

    So are you planning on shipping your daughter off to somewhere instead of making like a responsible parent and requiring her to own what she did? Need to know how long to keep the little darling on the lam?

    It would appear that facing the situation would serve to be a little more than a bit educational for all concerned! For her AND FOR YOU!

    I just simply want to know because there has been no action from best buy for a little over 1 year now. I just want to know if the statute of limitation is passed by now. Can you at least put this in a simple language for me? http://law.onecle.com/north-carolina...dure/15-1.html , I cannot figure out if it says that there is no limitation on any petit larceny over $5 or if all misdemeanors have a limitation including shoplifting except for malicious misdemeanors.

    It means what it says - that (unless a tolling provision is implicated) the state has two years to try somebody for the enumerated charges.

    A provision pertaining to "the crime of petit larceny where the value of the property does not exceed five dollars ($5.00)" would not appear relevant to "Shoplifting Around $100".

    What exactly is petit larceny? So there is no statute of limitation for shoplifting $100?

    You didn't ask us to find other statutes for you. You asked what that statute meant. North Carolina's statutes are here.

    In relation to larceny, Petit and Grand are from the French words "small" and "big".

    Why I'm asking all this is because she recently got into a immature fight at school. She was charged with distrubing peace but the charge was dismissed because she did teen court and completed all the requirements. Another charge would be stuck on her record. When I was reading up on this subject, I read something about getting in any kind of trouble with the law will reset the statute of limitation or is that for crimes of the same type. Sorry for all the question. The statutes are very confusing for someone like me with English not being a first and primary language.

    I still don't know if that statute states if the two year limitation applys to a $100 shoplifting.
