perhaps in some localities shoplifting carries a pretty hefty sentence if caught, in other places it's not so harsh.

This is almost like double jeopardy for a person who's caught, especially when assumed guilty without a jury or lawyer, eh? How long does Walmart and other retailers hang this over the criminal's heads? What other things does such people have to perform / do later on?

Take care...
