No, it is not when someone lets weeds grow in the front yard
or decides to paint their house yellow!
Property crime may include vandalism, arson, a stolen vehicle, burglary,
and more. By definition, it is the
seizing or destroying of items that do not belong to that person and does not
directly threaten the safety of the victim.
Robbery is NOT a property crime. That reaches the next level of a violent
crime because it threatens an individual with bodily harm. Still, property crime is very serious and
needs to be treated as such. We hear
stories of “kids on a joy ride”. They
think they are “borrowing” a car for the night, but the owner does not see it
that way.
It can get very complicated and needs to be sorted out by a
seasoned attorney. That is why people in
this area have turned to Santa Clara County property crime lawyer William
Chestnut for decades. If you or a loved
one is facing such a charge act NOW.
Call Attorney Bill Chestnut at (408) 298-6990.
