    She stole $1281 of stuff over multiple shopping trips.

    Target can ID faces and track thefts across multiple store trips.

      One thing that any would be shoplifter should take away from this is NEVER steal from Target. Target waits and tallies up what a person has shoplifted until that dollar value exceeds what is required to charge them with felony theft, in Florida‘s case a dollar value greater than 750, and then has that person arrested.

      I’ve heard that target waits until you hit some amount that makes it a felony then busts you hard

      Which basically means you can steal from target, but only once.

        Yeah, there is usually a dollar amount that you need to hit in order for charges to actually be meaningful in a number of states. For example, in CA you need to steal over $950 for a judge to have the option to make it a felony. If it’s under $950 it’s a slap on the wrist.
