A Shoplifting conviction carries with it the stigma of dishonesty. The Duvall Law Office brings decades of experience representing those charged with this type of offense not only in Eugene, Oregon (and nearby Springfield, Oregon), but in courts throughout the state. While the crime of shoplifting well understood, and the term is commonly used, Oregon state law does not list a crime called shoplifting. This offense is generally charged under the crime of Theft in the Third Degree. Specifically, this Oregon statute reads as follows:
ORS 64.043
Theft in the third degree
“(1) A person commits the crime of theft in the third degree if:
(a) By means other than extortion, the person commits theft as defined in ORS 164.015 (Theft described); and
(b) The total value of the property in a single or an aggregate transaction is less than $100.
(2) Theft in the third degree is a Class C misdemeanor.”
And term “theft” in Oregon law is defined as follows:
“A person commits theft when, with intent to deprive another of property or to appropriate property to the person or to a third person, the person:
(1) Takes, appropriates, obtains or withholds such property from an owner thereof;
(2) Commits theft of property lost, mislaid or delivered by mistake as provided in ORS 164.065 (Theft of lost, mislaid property);
(3) Commits theft by extortion as provided in ORS 164.075 (Theft by extortion);
(4) Commits theft by deception as provided in ORS 164.085 (Theft by deception); or
(5) Commits theft by receiving as provided in ORS 164.095 (Theft by receiving).”
