I don't know the laws I am trying to figure them out myself thank you and I am sorry about the confusion I guess it is a good thing you all don't know my last name because I would be considered an idiot to the entire americas

The laws can vary as to how the car was stolen, what was the purpose and even to what DA is determining what to charge.

But if you are charged with the theft, then in sentencing many other factors will come into play, the intent, the age of the person doing it, and others.

The same type of person in county A may get 3 years probation, but a similar person in county B may get 5 years in prison for the same charge.
