Nog, I'm figuring like that must be the case, then the police can pick up the homeless who shoplift, but again the question becomes what the point would be if you can't prosecute for anything less than $500. So a homeless dude could go into safeway, get 3 pounds of king crab ($80 a pound) and scarf it all down, and not even get in trouble for it? Seems crazy. Or go to the section that serves cooked food, get chicken/chineese food etc, and just leave and eat it?

Seems crazy to me, there has to be a way to stop that from happening or the hoards would decent, there are tons of homeless around here. It even sounds like refusing to allow someone in the store is pointlesss since you can't physically stop them. Yeah, you could call the cops as soon as you see them, but even if they got there in time, can they actually do anything if it's less then $500 worth of stuff? Seems like a crazy setup, especially around here.
