What is "Grand Theft of a Motor Vehicle"?

Under Florida Statute § 812.014(2)(c)6, the theft of any motor vehicle is automatically classified as grand theft in the third degree, regardless of whether the vehicle is worth $100 or $10,000. In Broward County, this is a serious felony. If the vehicle is used to cause property damage or if the value exceeds higher thresholds ($20k or $100k), the charge can be elevated to a second or first-degree felony with even more severe penalties.
