Cargo Theft involving goods valued at $10,000 to less than $100,000 is which degree?

• A. Cargo Theft - 2nd Degree Felony
• B. Cargo Theft - 3rd Degree Felony
• C. Cargo Theft - 1st Degree Felony
• D. State Jail Felony

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that the level of cargo theft is determined by how much the goods are worth. In this system, mid-range values fall into a mid-level felony. When goods are valued from about $10,000 up to just under $100,000, the offense is categorized as a third-degree felony. This sits above lower-penalty classifications (like state jail or smaller thefts) but below the highest levels (which require even higher values or additional factors). So the best label for this value range is a third-degree felony, reflecting the mid-range value. Penalties typically include a prison term in the 2–10 year range and potential fines.
