When your employer/boss/manager breaks the law by not paying you all you're entitled to get. Not paying overtime, not paying minimum wage, deducting money from your paycheck, not reimbursing you for expenses, not paying you on time, paying "under the table", misclassifying you as an independent contractor, etc.
Lisa server broke a couple of bottles when she tripped on the way to the customer's table. At the end of the week, Lisa noticed that her manager deducted the cost of the bottles from her paycheck and remembered about wage theft.

The fraudulent appropriation of someone's identifying or personal data or documents, such as a driver's license, social security number (in USA), medical records, credit cards, etc. and then using that information to fraudulently procure goods and services essentially trading on the victim's good name.
TOM: "I had a job interview. They couldn't hire me because I had just been fired after working there for two years. Rather, the identity thief was hired there using my social security number and name to pass the background check. Now the state is after me to pay back the welfare benefits he got after losing his, er... my job."
PHIL: "Yeah? FBI raided my house and took my computer because someone opened a child porn website using my name, address, and credit card information."
BOB: Hospital almost gave me a lethal dose of insulin because the identity thief who stole my identity was diabetic so it showed up in my charts that I was diabetic. Thank goodness the doctor tested me first.
TOM: "Dang, remember when identity theft only took your credit cards and drained your bank account."

Motor Vehicle Theft:
The theft or attempted theft of a motor vehicle. For UCR purposes, the definition of a vehicle is a self-propelled vehicle that runs on land surface and not on rails. Do Not include farm equipment, bulldozers, airplanes, construction equipment, or motor boats. Unauthorized use of MV is NOT to be categorized as a MV theft. It should be a fraud.
