Under Missouri law, stealing occurs when a person takes someone else’s property with the intent to deprive them of it. Stealing can take many forms, including robbery, theft of services, forgery, fraud, or identity theft. Depending on the value of the stolen items, theft can be charged as a felony or a misdemeanor. In the most severe cases, it is punishable by 30 years or even life in prison.
