License plate taken from trailer falls under which UCR category?

• A. Car theft
• B. Grand larceny
• C. All other larceny
• D. Fraud

Answer: (C)

In the UCR system, how a theft is categorized depends on the item stolen and the specific category it fits into. A license plate stolen from a trailer is theft of property, not the theft of an entire vehicle, and it doesn’t match the more specific subcategories like theft from a motor vehicle or theft of motor vehicle parts in a way that would place it elsewhere. Because license plates are a small, removable vehicle component and the offense doesn’t fit the other named larceny categories, it falls into All Other Larceny—the catch‑all for miscellaneous thefts that aren’t covered by the more defined subtypes. The other options don’t fit: taking a whole car would be car theft, grand larceny involves a higher value or specific thresholds, and fraud requires deception, which isn’t present here.
