Here’s a quick look at the penalties for shoplifting in Illinois: Class A misdemeanor: If the property’s value is $300 or less. Class 4 felony: If the property’s value is $300 or less but you have a prior conviction or you used an emergency exit to shoplift.

I know, but my original point is that the shoplifting I was familiar with was mostly low value stuff, and wouldn't trip those thresholds. I didn't know what those dollar thresholds were in most states, and didn't pretend to.
