Like many other criminal cases, you can use a wide variety of evidence to establish what happened in your case. The most common types of evidence that are used during theft cases include: the actual stolen items, surveillance footage, witness testimony, receipts and records, police reports, confessions, statements, emails, texts, social media posts, cell phone records, fingerprints, DNA evidence, and alibis. While these types of evidence are helpful, each case is different and will rely more heavily on some evidence types than others.
