Theft of service is a criminal charge determined by each state. In general it refers to a person who receives a good or service and then doesn't pay. It frequently applies to individuals who leave a restaurant or hotel before paying for their bill, or receive goods from a company and don’t pay.
This is determined by each state, but most follow similar guidelines. If the theft was more than $500, but less than $10,000, it’s treated as a misdemeanor case. If the theft was higher than $10,000, then you’re dealing with a felony case. Contact the authorities for felony cases.
One type of charge relates to someone who accepts a service without paying for the charge, another to someone who diverts service from a paying customer for their own use, while the another refers to a person who lies or deceives as a way of not paying for those services. Gather proof of the theft on the part of the individual.
You typically only get one chance to state your case. Until you gather enough evidence to state your case completely, wait on pressing charges. If you move too soon, you might lose your case and watch the thief walk away free.
