In most states, the type of charges someone faces when they steal from you are based on the value of the property stolen. I am a 11 year law enforcement veteran in California so I can only give examples from this state.
In California, if the value of the property stolen is less than $400 than the crime is misdemeanor petty theft. It doesn't matter if the property stolen is a TV, a watch or pills - the charge is the same.
If the value of the property stolen is over $400 the crime is felony grand theft. Once again, it doesn't matter what kind of property is stolen, only the value.
There are exceptions to these rules. For example, if the theft is by a caretaker of an elder or dependent adult, it is a felony regardless of value of property stolen.
I expect that Ohio's laws are similar. Hope this helps.
