Was trying to work out what amount is considered "Felony Theft" in Indiana and found this in a search:
Quote:

"Grand theft" or "grand larceny" typically refers to thefts that are usually considered to be felonies (compared to "petty theft" which is typically a misdemeanor). The threshold is based upon the value of the article stolen and is usually $500. However, Indiana makes no such distinction and all thefts are felonies."

I've heard the $500 amount, but never heard "all thefts are felonies" in any state. Learn something new everyday.
