French term or phrase:vol de tout genre
Can someone please offer the proper legal translation of "vol de tout genre"? It is in a legal document which I am translating which contains references to previous criminal history. Here is the context:
"...connu sur le plan judiciaire pour avoir été condamné à deux reprises respectivement en date des:
- le [date] par le [nom de tribunal] à une peine de [XXX] pour vol de tout genre.
- etc etc...
"theft of all kinds" was my thought, and is obviously a literal translation, but given that it is for a legal document, I would expect it to specify exactly what kind of theft. Surely this is not very typical of a legal document (to say "theft of all kinds")?

Explanation: not my area, so just a suggestion as your question shows a fine
Although many U.S. states have retained larceny as the primary offence,[1] some have now adopted theft provisions.
For example, California consolidated a variety of common law crimes into theft in 1927, and now distinguishes between two types of theft, grand theft and petty theft.[2] Grand theft generally consists of the theft of something of value over $400 (it can be money, labor or property),[3] while petty theft is the default category for all other thefts.[4] Grand theft is punishable by up to a year in jail or prison, and can either be seen as a misdemeanor or felony.[5] while petty theft is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine or six months in jail.[6] As for the older crimes of Embezzlement, Larceny, and stealing, any references to them now mean theft instead.[7]

The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to.
The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability.
Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
