Driving Whilst Disqualified alone can attract a custodial sentence of up to 6 months. Coupled with theft, and the magistrates may decline duristiction due to value, this could go to the Crown Court for sentencing.
Depending on the tone of the pre-sentence report, mitigation, an eraly guilty plea, and the offender's antecedents, I would realisticly expect a spell of 3 to 4 months in chokey for our friend.
