What is 'Petit Larceny'?

  1. Taking property valued at less than $1000

  2. Stealing a small item

  3. A minor legal infraction

  4. Borrowing without permission

The correct answer is: Taking property valued at less than $1000

'Petit Larceny' is a legal term referring to the act of stealing or taking personal property without permission. It specifically applies to property that is valued at less than $1000. This is different from 'Grand Larceny', which is when property over $1000 is stolen. The other options, such as stealing a small item or borrowing without permission, are too vague and do not capture the legal definition of petit larceny. Additionally, petit larceny is not just a minor legal infraction, as it can result in criminal charges and potential jail time.
