In San Diego, Theft is divded up into two degrees: 1st degree, which is called “Grand Theft” and the 2nd degree, which is called "Petty Theft". 

Grand Theft is more serious, and can be a felony carrying prison time. Whereas a first offense Petty Theft, is a misdemeanor.  Whether a person will be charged with Grand Theft or Petty Theft depends on the value of the items involved, and the type of items involved.

Additionally, Petty Theft crimes are priorable.  This means that if you have a prior theft charge, any future Petty Theft can be a felony.
