So what's the difference between shoplifting and burglary and bank robbery Eric?? Theft is theft no matter what guise it goes under. You remember snagging an odd candy bar but you were probably young and wouldn't do anything of the sort now you're an adult. I think speedy is talking about an adult who persistently commits the crime - 80+ times in fact. That is wrong and should be more severely dealt with.
