What happens the third time you get prosecuted for theft?

It all depends on what kind of theft. If it was petty theft then you are still eligible for probation and a fine. However major theft has considerable jail time.

You will be handed down mandatory and extended prison time. If you have been previously convicted of a violent crime or serious felony, it will significantly increase your prison time. The first true "three strikes" law with no exceptions was passed in 1993.
