Hardly worth the police time. This two-bit crook may become more brazen in the future, but how much police/prosecutor time should be devoted to this clown?
He will probably do this again and again and again, if not caught.
Shoplifting is one of the major losses that retail firms must deal with.
Actually, it's the police's job to take the time. Unless you want this store to put up a sign that says, "Free Burritos."
When does it become theft? When he comes back every night? When he brings five of his friends to help themselves to free burritos? When he takes a 12 pack of beer with his free food? The next thing you know, we're talking about a real loss of inventory. Pennies add up quickly.
People commit these types of crimes because they know nobody will do anything about it and the next thing you know we're reading an article about a guy who stole a $2.79 burrito, never mind the fact that during the course of his life, he's probably already stolen thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.
