But also, just because you walk out of Target or Wal-Mart with a bunch of stolen stuff, doesn't mean you got away with it. Your thefts are being tracked.

Idgaf about corporations. I don't want people to end up in jail, because that's no place for a person to be.

Source: atrocious English tabloid The Sun quoting unverified information from a Tiktoker who claims without proof to have worked for Target at some point.

Reliability: sub zero.

So basically I should steal until just before I hit felony level and then wait out the statue of limitations.

Got it.

I heard a guy tried that once and on his last "trip" they called the cops on him and a manager smuggled a bottle of liqor in his backpack so he would hit the felony level.

It's a shame to see the quality advice I'm missing out on on Reddit.
