Larceny Larceny is defined as the taking and carrying away of tangible personal property of another by trespass with intent to permanently (or for an unreasonable time) deprive the person of his interest in the property. Shoplifting Shoplifting refers to taking something from a merchant without paying for it, either by sneaking it out of the store or by altering or switching the tags on an item in order to pay less. If the total value of the goods is less than $300 it is a misdemeanor. It is a felony if the total value exceeds $300.
