…What If I Didn’t Intend to Keep the Car?

Intent is a key element of the crime of grand theft auto. If the prosecution cannot prove you intended to deprive the owner of the vehicle, you cannot be convicted of grand theft auto. However, you can be convicted of joyriding. If you must be convicted of anything, it is better to be convicted of joyriding. This crime can be charged as a misdemeanor and it will not look as bad on your criminal record. As your grand theft auto attorney in Orange CA, Dan E. Chambers will carefully analyze the prosecution’s evidence regarding your intent at the time of the alleged crime to see if you can benefit from the reduced charge of joyriding.
