Felony petit theft is ____ or more convictions.

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Answer: (B)

Repeat offenses escalate petty theft to a felony. If someone has two or more prior convictions for petit theft, a new petit theft offense is charged as a felony. That threshold—two or more prior petit theft convictions—is why the blank is filled with two. Using two or more captures the established rule; one prior conviction wouldn’t push it to a felony, while three or four also meet the criterion, the standard way to state the rule is two or more.
