Right - this is not petty theft - going onto someone’s private property and stealing deliveries is beyond that.

True. Like the California thugs who were too stupid to pass math in school before they were kicked out but now are great at estimating shoplifting trash bash contents’ retail values to be a dollar under the threshold.$950 and over gets at least police attention. Not under.
///////////////////////////
//////////////////////////
“State law holds that stealing merchandise worth $950 or less is just a misdemeanor, which means that law enforcement probably won’t bother to investigate, and if they do, prosecutors will let it go.

Why won’t store employees do anything about this theft? Because they don’t want to take the risk. I doubt many would, knowing that a Rite Aid employee was murdered recently after trying to stop two thieves. Moreover, a confrontation within the store risks harming not only store staff but also customers, so employees are almost certainly instructed by their managers to do nothing.

Because of this law, California is extending an open invitation to anyone to walk in and take.”

Yeah - or down to $15-$20

Guess they’re leaving it for the food stealers?

Maybe just a technicality, but with the price of things these days, the likelihood of a package being worth less than $40 is pretty small.

Yeah, if I ordered a part from eBay and it didn’t make it here, I have to start over.
