Can theft be dismissed after it is filed?

After the theft is put on file, it is generally impossible to withdraw the case. Because the case has happened, the act of returning stolen goods or restitution is only a sign of repentance, and the punishment can be lightened or mitigated. The statutory penalty for theft is less than three years. If you can get rid of the dirt, you can fight for a lighter punishment and a suspended sentence without going to jail.
