Short Summary
This section of the California Penal Code governs the crime of theft committed by retailers or other individuals with intent to defraud. It outlines two scenarios that constitute theft. The first scenario involves furnishing money, goods, services, or anything else of value upon presentation of an access card obtained or retained in violation of Section 484e or an access card that is counterfeit, forged, expired, or revoked. If the payment received for all such transactions exceeds $950 in any consecutive six-month period, it constitutes grand theft. The second scenario involves presenting a sales slip or other evidence of an access card transaction for payment without furnishing anything of equal value. If the difference between the value of what was furnished and the payment received exceeds $950 in any consecutive six-month period, it also constitutes grand theft. The penalties for theft under this section are determined based on the value of the transactions and can range from theft charges to grand theft charges.
