Property of Value

Property whose value can be anywhere from zero to millions of dollars; criminal mischief involves the damage of property of value.

What Right Law Group attorneys say

The reason that that is, be it right or wrong, is that the act of criminal mischief is just the act of breaking something of value, or damaging something of value. There's nothing in the elements of a criminal offense, criminal mischief charge that doesn't have to be of value to another person.
