Attempted theft

You do a crime on drugs and you get sympathy and drug rehab in a plush sober house. You get a DUI and you pay 10K and lose your license and probably your job too. In CA if its under $1000, you get a ticket. I think there was a you tube video surveillance of 2 big guys walking out of a CA Walmart with a 70" tv and they just walked on out. No one tried to stop them, they calmly put it in the back of a plateless truck and left.
