Question: 1 / 400

What offense has been committed if you witness someone stealing a belt without paying?

Breach of the peace

Theft under $5000

The offense committed in this scenario is theft under $5000. This classification applies because an individual took someone else's property, in this case, a belt, without paying for it, which constitutes theft as defined in criminal law. The value of the item being stolen is less than $5000, which aligns with the legal parameters of this specific offense.

Breach of the peace might be considered if the act of stealing caused a disturbance, but it does not specifically pertain to the act of theft itself. Robbery involves the use of force or intimidation in the act of stealing, which was not indicated in this scenario. Shoplifting with intent is not a necessary designation in this case, as theft is already captured by the general definition of theft under $5000 without needing to specify intent. Thus, the most appropriate and accurate classification for witnessing someone stealing a belt without payment is indeed theft under $5000.
