Convicted and sentenced to time-served...which was seven days. (just guessing here)
I went to buy razor blades today on the San Fran Peninsula at Walgreens. Everything was locked up.
It doesn’t to be this way. We were once a civilized society.
“Between Oct 3, 2020, and Nov. 16, 2021,
she entered the store, brought items to the self-checkout,
scanned them, and inserted “a single coin or bill”
into the machine before leaving the store,
jurors determined.”
Visited the “same Target store 120 times in just over a one-year period...inserted a single coin or bill into the machine before leaving the store.”
And to think I’m worried if I used two of their shopping bags and told the machine I only used one bag (they charge for the bags).
60K?! This is why retailers are moving away from self checkout.
One grand theft felony and 52 misdemeanors.
If she had only kept that one under $950, she’d be walking and “shopping” at Target tomorrow.
I recently came across these youtube videos about shoplifters caught in the act.
Target and Walmart are two favorite stores for them to shop at.
Of course, the retailers have to raise prices to cover the pilferage.

In this case, the People alleged that Ms. Graves had entered Target located at the Stonestown Galleria on dozens of occasions between the dates of October 3, 2020, through November 16, 2021, and repeatedly stole merchandise with a total value in excess of $60,000. Ms. Graves would enter Target, and then immediately proceed to select merchandise from the shelves. She would then proceed to the self-checkout counter where she would scan each item, insert a nominal amount, such as a single coin or bill, and then exit the store.
She should have acted along with lots of social conscious friends and made up something like honoring George Floyd. This man with a hammer brought his pals.
“If I had a hammer, I’d hammer out justice, I’d hammer out love between all of my brothers, all over this land.”
She acted..... uhh never mind
Do we need to look????
Aziza Graves (pictured) was convicted of felony and grand theft and 53 misdemeanor counts of petty theft on Friday after she stole over a 13-month period
Reparations so it’s not really stealing 😁
Target... I would have acquitted. YMMV
She was using the reparations checkout.
There are the sensitive soccer moms seeing shoplifter as a poor hungry being, starving and needing nutrition, vs rich greedy company, who can surely afford to feed this poor being.
But, in rich US, there are no such persons.
And, even the kids stealing candy bars are not really a problem.
The problem are professional shoplifters, looking for expensive items, which could be easily resold.
They are amazingly good at their trade and cause enormous damage. No company can afford to be robbed by them in any length of the time!
See, she did not steal at all.
She merely underpaid.
