Equivalent to horse stealing in the old days, because you may deprive a person of his way to work, ruining his livelihood. Of course if you’re a deadbeat, you won’t care about that.
Theft is one of those crimes that will vary in opinion depending on who you ask and the person being stolen from.
In the case of grand theft auto, this will likely vary based on the insurance, liquid assets, and health of the victim. Stealing a Lamborghini from Elon Musk and stealing a beater from a homeless, elderly woman are completely different levels of bad.
The same goes for other types of theft, but obviously grand theft auto tends to be a lot more pricey.
What do you mean by “how bad”? You can Google the maximum sentences for grand theft auto according to where you live, if that’s what you were wondering
I've had cousins that stole cars to sell the parts. They only got a few months in jail. Most places wouldn't hire them after that.
Depends who your stealing from. Like I ride a bike to work. Bike theft is generally disregarded. However if someone stole my bike they just turned a 15-20 minute work commute into an hour or more one way. That has a serious impact on my life.
I dunno, but if someone stole my car I would not be displaced if they crashed it, and died as a result.
