MO SB425

Receiving stolen property is a class A misdemeanor unless specific conditions apply that elevate it to a felony.

Receiving stolen property is a class C felony if the value is $500 or more but less than $25,000, if property is taken from the person, or if the property includes vehicles, firearms, explosives, credit cards, livestock, controlled substances, or other specified items.

Receiving stolen property is a class B felony if the value of property or services equals or exceeds $25,000.

Prior offenders who receive livestock or animals valued over $3,000 are guilty of class B felony and must serve at least 80 percent of their sentence before being eligible for probation or parole.

Evidence of possession of other stolen property, prior receipt of stolen property within the past year, acquisition at far below reasonable value, or possession under suspicious circumstances is admissible to prove knowledge or belief that property was stolen.
