Our country's criminal law implements the principle of "proportionality of criminal responsibility", that is, conviction and sentencing according to the degree of crime. In order for an act like theft to constitute a crime, in addition to the four elements of a crime, the amount of the crime must meet the requirements of the law, generally more than 1,000 yuan will constitute a crime (the amount varies in different regions), and less than 1,000 yuan will be punished according to the "Public Security Administration Punishment Law". The specific punishment is based on the following:

II. Standards for the amount of theft committed during railway transportation.

1. The amount of personal theft of public or private property is "relatively large", starting with 1,000 yuan;

2. The amount of personal theft of public or private property is "huge", starting with 10,000 yuan;

Where an individual steals public or private property with a value of RMB 2,000 or more, it is a "relatively large amount"; if the value is more than 20,000 yuan, it is a "huge amount"; If the value is more than 100,000 yuan, it is "a particularly large amount".

In China, theft is usually based on the amount. Generally, the lower limit is 500 yuan, and more than 500 yuan constitutes theft, and the following is treated as a public security administrative punishment. However, the State has authorized the high courts of each province or autonomous region to set their own minimum sentences.

For example, in Beijing, Liaoning and other places, 1,000 yuan is used as the starting amount for theft.

Thieves are generally dealt with in accordance with the Law on Public Security Punishments, generally detained and fined, and thieves are dealt with in accordance with the Criminal Law!
