In the old days they hanged you for horse stealing. Many states haven't changed that law, so technically, you could be hanged for horse stealing, like in Montana and probably in Wyoming and the Dakotas. They don't actually do that anymore but that is the "on the books" penalty. It varies state by state and you really don't want to get caught doing that. Bad karma.

The hanging has to be reported to the local Sheriff within 7 days or you could be in trouble.
This punishment is rarely enforced in South Texas (only 6 times in the last 10 years in Cameron County)
