Larceny is a
crime, and the form of
theft which involves taking another's property without
violence or
intimidation[?], as contrasted to
robbery. It should also be distinguished from
embezzlement, which involves property entrusted to the thief.
Pickpocketing,
rustling[?], and
shoplifting are generally forms of larceny.
Grand larceny involves stealing a significant amount of property, in the
US this is defined as an amount valued at
$200 or more.
