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.
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.
