Presuming you have NO prior criminal record, the maximum sentence is 5 years' incarceration for theft by unlawful taking. That being said, the sentencing guidelines recommend restitution and "Restrictive Intermediate Punishment," which in your case may be probation. If there are aggravating circumstances, the guidelines call for an additional 3 months of incarceration or probation.
