    I’d say modern security programs would tag such a thing, but Fred Meyer got 200 hours of footage of someone I knew stealing before they made a move, so maybe they wouldn’t be that particular.

        Walmart does that. They don’t prosecute people for petty shoplifting, but they keep track. When the cumulative total hits felony level theft, they prosecute.

          I think this is general for most stores.

          It makes sense, considering the majority of petty crimes are for a lower value then the gas police would use to get on scene.
