Ok so my friend had her wallet stolen out of her car. (id, credit cards, money etc.) Somebody actually broke a window to get it out. The money was spent and she never got her id back. They soon caught 2 suspects. (credit cards unused). One of them admitted to stealing it. Now, like 6 months later she has a court date...what could the minimum and maximum charges be for stealing? I do not think there was too much money in the wallet..probably like $50 or something.

Whether they broke the window or reached into a vehicle whose window was opened, it is still "Burglary of a Conveyance". That's one charge. So, yes, technically if you are wandering along in a parking lot and reach into an open window of a car without touching anything, you have commited this crime. Another charge is larceny. Since the inherent value of items taken was around $50 [well unless it was like a $400 D&B wallet or something] it is petty larceny. In other words, if someone steals your car keys, the keys themselves are only worth a dollar or so a piece, so it's petty larceny--the value of the car they go to does not enter into it. The potential credit limits on your friend's credit cards have no bearing since the pieces of plastic themselves aren't worth anything much.
Most states have a website which lists the statutes for the state. The statues will list how the different crimes are classified meaning felony or misdemeanor and the penalties for those classification of crimes.

Don't know the laws in your state. But in Calif. breaking into the car in the manner you described, makes it a felony (vehicle burglary). Also since there were two suspects, again in Calif., there could be another charge added in that (conspiracy). And if they had used the credit cards, of course another charge for each transaction could be added.

That really varies as one has to take in the past criminal history and offenses and the best way to look it up is go the the library and look IT up or call the police and ask them the range, but remember it all depends if they were on probation and has/had past charges

If they broke a window to get the wallet then surely they should be charged with criminal damage as well as theft...
