It's still not the same thing. It's like comparing someone threatening your wife compared with someone elses wife. Will you react in the same way to both crimes?
lol
Why do people believe that when people steal from a shop that the customer ends up paying more? As its only true when there is a monopoly on said product as if the store was to put up there prices then people would simply go to another store where they have not put up the prices.

Eh?
You mean a shop where shoplifting doesn't happen?
Oh and BTW I'm talking criminal offences not motoring offences. Duh!

No i know every shop will have shop lifting but why would these companies put there prices up? All it takes is one store to not put the prices up and the companies which had increased there prices are going to loose out on sales. So then they lower there prices to what they were before or even lower to compete with the 1 store which didn't put up there prices to claw back sales.
Shops will make an insurance claim for any item stolen. Currys would claim for every single CD, kettle, toaster, etc that had been stolen. Yes, even the £3.99 jobbies.
The buck doesn't stop at the big mean shop conglomerates. It goes onto the bigger, meaner insurance companies who will increase all (personal and commercial) prices to cover their payouts.

Consensual sex with a close relative. There we go, that technically has no victim unless you count moral outrage as a victim. And it's a proper "criminal" and not just a motoring offence.
P.s. this feels like a challenge to me so will probably keep going, my other suggestion would be going equipped to steal as I believe having tools such as screwdrivers etc is enough given an officers suspicions of other motives.
Edit: There's an offence of "Incest other than by man with a girl under 13" but can't find the corresponding one, how sexist!
I only have 2007 figures but shoplifting cost retailers 205million. The increase in premiums will be very little if at all.

Well atleast she got caught.
Sometimes the best thing realy, the temptation to do something again time over if you don't get caught overcomes most.
I speak from experience, and in truth even if it not criminal, just about everybody posting here has been caught doing wrong at some time or another and leasons have been learned for the most part.
For the poster, id ask your friend if she's done it before, talk about it, build a bond and keep it to yourselfs.
From your post there was quite a shock, do her a favour and be a friend for the next few days.

Gotta love the people here who are trying to justify crime.
Every penny stolen is a penny recouped from honest shoppers.
And Pudney, yes you are sounding a little anal now. You know exactly what I'm getting at.

Mate of mine used to work for Tesco Security.
Speaking to him one day and as we are chatting the alarm goes off at the door, a big guy is walking out with a big TV.
"you gonna get that?"
"nah, it's a big TV he won't have tried to steal it..."
Shops discretion really!
I've lost count of the amount of times that I've walked out of a shop only for the alarm to go off, there by no one around (security staff), so I stand there swinging the bag between the detectors waiting, and some security guard shouts from a distance "it's okay".
Really odd, they surely didn't have a clue whether or not I'd actually paid.
It is a fact, look it up.
There are loads of facts out there about reoffending, and also about how criminals start on petty crimes and work their way up - its FACT
You don't know what you're talking about. FACT.
10 items always weigh more than 5 items. FACT.
I am better than you at everything. FACT.
(see how it works?)
Oh not you again, I think I can hear people that have forgotten that "PIRACY IS A CRIME" and "PIRACY IS THEFT".
