Grand theft typically involves stealing property with a higher value, above a certain threshold set by each state, while petty theft involves stealing property with a lower value. Grand theft is considered a felony in most jurisdictions, carrying more severe penalties compared to petty theft, which is usually classified as a misdemeanor. The specific dollar amounts that differentiate between grand theft and petty theft can vary depending on the jurisdiction.
