“Theft, if the value of the property stolen is $100 or more but less than $750”
Most purses and cellphones.
Lots of guns under $750.
A $750 loss to a lot of people in this country is a very heavy loss. So there are virtually no serious penalties for pillaging the poor??? Looking out for the little guys, aren’t you Rats????
I don’t EVER want to hear a Rat say anymore that they represent the common man.
In San Francisco, the creeps come in with pillow cases and sweep things off the shelves straight into their bags. They are good at knowing when they are just below the $900 limit. Then they stroll out of the store like nothing happened. Clerks and customers just stand by and watch, mouths agape.
in my state, even though a cell phone’s value is below the filing standard for felony theft, taking anything off of a person (pickpocket/purse snatch) is a felony theft (Theft 1)
