Theft is grand theft when which of the following is stolen?

• A. a watch
• B. a bicycle
• C. a wallet
• D. a will

Answer: (D)

The main idea is that certain items are designated as grand theft regardless of their monetary value because of what they represent. A will is such an item in this statute—it’s a legal document that directs how a decedent’s assets should be distributed and carries significant implications for rightful heirs and beneficiaries. Stealing this document obstructs the decedent’s last wishes and the administration of the estate, so the law elevates it to grand theft with stiffer penalties.

The other items listed aren’t automatically grand theft just by being or having value; they’re grand theft only if their value exceeds the statutory threshold or if they fall into another enumerated category that triggers grand theft.
