Petty Theft Penal Code

[mcheryl]

What is the name of your state? California

I have found all sorts of Penal Code number for Petty Theft, such as 488, 484, etc. What do they mean? What are their differences? What are their possible different or equal punishments? How different do the judges see these different Petty Theft charges?

Thanks.
