I don't understand. $107 + $800 more doesn't equal $1500. Are you saying that's a $593 wallet? Were there credit cards and ID taken to charge poss ID Info? | |||

Even if the $800 was unknowingly later tossed with the wallet, the theft of the entire value of the property was complete. The grade of the offense is not really controlled by the knowledge or intent of the thief about exactly what was stolen or its value. | |||
