2 years.
Re: statue of limitations for theft in pennsylvania?
two years...depends on when you realized the items were stolen...now the DA might still pursue this matter due to you just discovering it was your husband..contact the County DA as soon as possible.
Please be advised you also have a civil matter on your hands here and can sue your husband for the monetary value of the items as well.
My office also offers flat rate pricing and free consultations, for additional information please visit my firm's website at www.AlleghenyAttorneys.com or by calling my office at 412.731.0865.
