Legal analysis
If the amount of theft is not small, it is a general illegal act, and if the amount is large, it is suspected of crime. Theft can be a general illegal act or a criminal act. Theft is a crime if the amount involved reaches the local criminal filing standard, and it is a general illegal act if it does not meet the criminal filing standard. Theft refers to the act of secretly stealing a large amount of public or private property or stealing public or private property for the purpose of illegal possession. Theft does not necessarily constitute theft. For some people who commit petty theft, occasionally steal property due to the difficulties of disaster-stricken life, or are coerced to participate in theft activities without stolen goods or a small share of stolen goods, they may not be treated as theft, and the competent authorities may give appropriate punishment when necessary. Distinguish the act of stealing the property of one's family members or close relatives from the theft in society, and generally do not treat such cases as crimes; If criminal responsibility is really to be investigated, it should also be distinguished from criminals in society. In fact, no matter how much money is involved, it is actually illegal. However, after reaching the prescribed amount standard, the perpetrator will be identified as a crime. However, those who repeatedly commit special acts such as theft, pickpocketing and burglary will not be counted, and once found, they will be found to constitute this crime.
