Ivey Marie Weiss, 49, of Ocala, was arrested yesterday and charged with shoplifting and engaging in a scheme to defraud after allegedly stealing over $160 in items from the Target store in Gainesville.
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.
$160… So like a pant and some beach towels?
She stole $1281 of stuff over multiple shopping trips.
Target can ID faces and track thefts across multiple store trips.

i feel like you just told us the inverse. Shoplift from target, just figure out what a felony in your area is and take less than that first though.
Not legal advice:
I would limit to half of it to be safe.
