RE: stealing items worth over $1,300 and could offer to pay to get off....

Maybe Chicago or Target say stealing $1,299 or less is not reason for arrest. She can say she miscalculated the day’s exchange rate of Rs 1.11 lakh
and is being unfairly punished.

Perfect time for me to remember the saying:

It is better to light a single candle
than to curse the darkness.

Here is an earlier explanation from AOC on how people have no choice but to steal from stores.

This was not fair to the store owners. She chose Target as a weak victim and lost. To bad, so sad, goodbye.

Re:post 15.

Shoplifting is common because of scummy lawyers ,judges and politicians.

Due to ridiculous awards to thieves by the above,most stores prohibit employees, including the security flunkies,from stopping shoplifters.
I once worked as loss prevention for a couple years and the management said we were there to keep the honest people honest!
My then stepdaughter was fired for trying to stop someone stealing a very expensive coat.

Store security is a frustrating bad joke in America and has been so for decades.

These are heavy items that easily break and they do start softening up in heat. this ring only stole candles not the other products in the store

I suspect the condition of the candles doesn't mean much and that they're burning them all the time to cover the smell of marijuana from their baby daddies, and to remove the stank of marijuana in all their clothing.
