Maine Theft Class Requirements
In Maine, theft is defined in 17-A M.R.S. §353 (Theft by unauthorized taking or transfer). The grade of a charge depends on the value involved, prior convictions, and the facts of the case. Dollar thresholds change over time, so check the current statute or ask your attorney.
Maine judges and prosecutors commonly use education classes as part of probation, deferred prosecution, or diversion, especially for first-time theft offenses. Your court or program sets the class requirement, the number of hours, and whether an online, self-paced class is acceptable, so confirm before you enroll.
Separately from any criminal case, 14 M.R.S. §8302 allows merchants to pursue civil remedies against people who take merchandise. A civil demand does not resolve the criminal case. Talk to an attorney before paying or responding.

Maine Theft Awareness FAQs
Can I take a theft or shoplifting class online in Maine?
Whether an online class meets your requirement is up to your court, probation officer, or program. Confirm before you enroll. If our course or certificate is rejected, we will refund your payment in full with written proof of rejection.
How many hours of theft class do Maine courts require?
Your court order or program sets the hours. Our class offers 4, 8, 12, and 16-hour options; choose the one that matches your paperwork, and ask if it does not say.
Is an anti-theft class the same as a theft awareness class in Maine?
Courts use several names for this requirement, including theft class, shoplifting class, anti-theft class, and petty theft class. Ask your court or probation officer which class you need and whether our online Theft Awareness Class meets it.
