Theft refers to the act of obtaining property or other substances without the permission of others, thinking that they will not be discovered or maintained by others in time. This is the oldest crime against property, almost as old as the history of private ownership. The Supreme People's Court's explanation on some issues concerning the specific application of law in the trial of theft cases. 1. How to identify theft? Theft refers to the act of secretly stealing a large number of public and private property for the purpose of illegal possession. (a) the amount of theft refers to the amount of public and private property stolen by the perpetrator through the implementation of theft. (2) Theft has been started, but due to reasons beyond the will of the actor, no loss of public or private property has been caused, which is an attempted theft.

(four) theft cases occurred in the process of railway transportation, and the "large amount" of theft started in 400 yuan; "The amount is huge" starting from 4000 yuan; "The amount is extremely huge" starts from 30,000 yuan.
