Why shouldn't it be? They did steal it, and it was probably pretty expensive. And some poor fat-assed shopper didn't have a cart to ride while they shopped that day.

The distinction between petty theft and grand theft is based on value. Typically petty theft is anything having a value less than $500 or $1000 depending on jurisdiction and grand theft is anything over.

That statute doesn’t have an inflation clause. Kind of like the Jury Duty pay statutes.
