Va. Model Jury Instr. Crim. No. 36.400

The defendant is charged with the crime of grand larceny by receiving stolen goods. The

Commonwealth must prove beyond a reasonable doubt each of the following elements of that

crime:

(1) That the (describe goods) were previously stolen from (name person) by some other person; and

(2) That the defendant [bought or received them from another person; aided in concealing them] with

dishonest intent; and

(3) That at the time of [receipt; aiding in concealing] the defendant knew they had been stolen; and

(4) That the value of the goods was $1000 or more.

If you find from the evidence that the Commonwealth has proved beyond a reasonable doubt

each of the above elements of the crime as charged, then you shall find the defendant guilty of

grand larceny receiving stolen goods [but you shall not fix the punishment until your verdict has

been returned and further evidence has been heard by you].

If you find from the evidence that the Commonwealth has proved beyond a reasonable doubt

each of the first three elements of the crime as charged, but has not proved beyond a reasonable

doubt that the value of such property was $1000 or more, and if you find beyond a reasonable

doubt that such property was of some value (there need be no proof of minimum or specific value),

then you shall find the defendant guilty of the crime of petit larceny [but you shall not fix the

punishment until your verdict has been returned and further evidence has been heard by you].

If you find that the Commonwealth has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt any of the

first three elements of the crime or failed to prove such property was of some value, then you shall

find the defendant not guilty.
