Effective July 1, 1999, the value of property necessary to constitute grand theft was increased from $300 to $1,000.

See I.C. � 18-3122(6) for the definition of a "financial transaction card."

If, pursuant to I.C. � 18-2407(1)(b)(8), several thefts are charged in one count as being part of a common scheme or plan with the aggregate value of the property stolen exceeding $1,000, use ICJI 554.
