    Default Grand theft 487(A)PC

    my son was arrested on grand theft charges in the state of califrnia. he actually was being stupid and him and some friends broke a signal light. the light was still on the poll and was not in anyones possesion. they have sentenced him to 180 days. shouldn't the charge be vandalism, not grand theft? the light was broken...not missing. any advice would be greatly appreciated

    Default Grand Theft versus Vandalism

    Perhaps your son entered into a plea bargain to a theft charge, to resolve what might otherwise arguably have been better charged as vandalism.
