Theft of services occurs when someone obtains valuable services through deception, force, threat or other unlawful means and does not provide compensation. For example, someone might eat at a restaurant and leave without paying for their food.
Theft of services is usually a criminal offense in most states (depending on the amount they owe you for services, it may even be considered a felony). In addition to criminal charges, a person who commits this type of theft may also be civilly liable to you for your monetary loss.
