Ooooo... that's a federal crime. Not good. Not good at all. In West (By-God) Virgina... Code  18.2-95 provides as follows: Any person who (i) commits larceny from the person of another of money or other thing of value of $5 or more, (ii) commits simple larceny not from the person of another of goods and chattels of the value of $200 or more, or (iii) commits simple larceny not from the person of another of any firearm, regardless of the firearm's value, shall be guilty of grand larceny, punishable by imprisonment in a state correctional facility for not less than one nor more than twenty years or, in the discretion of the jury or court trying the case without a jury, be confined in jail for a period not exceeding twelve months or fined not more than $2,500, either or both. And the Federal code states... No. 4, the court informed the jury that the punishment for grand larceny after former conviction of a felony is imprisonment in the penitentiary for a term of not exceeding ten years. By Instruction No. 5, the court advised the jury that evidence of other convictions is admissible only for the purpose of increasing the punishment and that a former conviction may be considered by the jury for no other purpose. And, in Instruction No. 6, the court advised the jury that if they should find the defendant guilty of grand larceny after former conviction of a felony it would be their duty to convict the defendant. No other instruction concerning the Habitual Criminal Act (21 O.S. �� 51-52) were given by the court.
