Why a felony? My guess... the theft was over a certain dollar amount... perhaps $500.

“Why a felony?” In most jurisdiction, this would be trespass and theft of something worth more than (fill in the blank) which takes it from misdemeanor to felony. These are usually pled down to misdemeanor and the perp given probation. She might even get diversion and eventually have the record expunged.

Felony based on the value of the object stolen.

Why a felony? Read the article. Its over $1000. Nice touch including the price of the GPS tracker in the charge.

I think it has something to do with the value of the stolen property.

Often the demarcation between misdemeanor larceny and felony larceny is $1k.
