Joy riding is just a lesser sentence for Grand Theft Auto. It also depends if you were driving or not.

There is no difference.
The friends and family of the person that stole the car call it joy riding. Everyone else calls it GTA.
The term Joy Riding came from when people would steal a car for a little while and drive it around a while and leave it nearby without damaging the car

There is no difference, theft is theft no matter what the thief was intending on doing with the vehicle. I hope they all get caught and have to repair vehicles free of charge for the length of their sentence. These people are scum.

Nothing. They both involve stealing a car. Therefore you should pay for the crime.

GTA is breaking into a car and "hot-wire" ing it. Joy ride is if you leave ur keys in ur car and someone takes it. I THINK!!!
