Grand Theft of a Motor Vehicle

[terijac]

My question involves criminal law for the state of: florida If a friend gave me the keys to his car, and no time
was set to bring it back, Can i get charged with grand thief<

If your friend allowed you to use their car, why would you even be asking about grand theft? There is obviously more to the story here and without that additional information, any answer you get really won't mean a thing.

Does the friend want it back? if they do, and you have refused, then it is possible that some form of larceny or embezzlement charge CAN be made against you.

Return the car or risk jail.

after I had the car for 3 days, and he couldn't get ahold of me, he called the cops and they came
to my place and took the car back to him, they waited 8 months, then picked me up on grand thief.

You mean they charged you with grand theft and so to answer your question, yes you could get charged with grand theft if "a friend gave you the keys to their car", and you took their car and disappeared for three days.

Yes, yes I know you didn't disappear, but you didn't return their car to them like you were supposed to, did you?

It may have taken that long for them to find you after the DA filed the charges against you. Apparently the DA or the Grand Jury felt that your intent was to deprive the rightful owner of the car and so they charged you with larceny of some stripe.

Next time, BORROW the car for what you need it for and then get it back to them ASAP.
