Here's another one:

I find a quarter on the street.  I take it without consent, with the intent 
to permanently deny the rightful owner of that property

I find a $20 bill on the street.  I take it without consent, with the 
intent to permanently deny the rightful owner of that property

I find $20,000 on the street.  I take it without consent, with the intent 
to permanently deny the rightful owner of that property

Are any of these 'theft'?   Probably.  Are they all 'theft'?  There's the 
'petty theft' and 'grand theft' distinction, but I guess it's either all 
theft, or none of it is.  

B

p.s. I hope  I never find $20,000, because I'd want to keep it.
