 I thought it was something like less than $500 and you're golden. One could likely do a whole lot of stores for $499 worth of stuff and be just fine. Also if it drags Cali closer to the cliff edge then that's a bonus. 
 I want to say it’s over $1000 in CA now. Or more. 

felony theft in Florida is $1250 so idk. 
 And is it a limit per day or per store? You could really clean up given either scenario if you're committed to it. Make one feel quite a mug for working and paying taxes when you can literally just help yourself. 
 I’m assuming per instance. Just make sure someone doesn’t figure out your part of a string of robberies lol 
 Frankly I'm surprised there is even a single business still operating there. Absolute madness. 
 A lot of them are pulling out and CA is losing its tax base - which makes their policy even more retarded. The only option is federal money and depending on the president that might not be an option.

I actually don’t understand what they are doing lol 
 It has to be deliberate. I can't even guess what the supposed endgame to it is or what the potential pay off might be but it's too obviously stupid to be accidental and have continued this long. 
 I know! It makes no sense. It has to be political because there’s no fiscal or social reason to do any of it lol. 
 Don't get me wrong someone will be getting rich off of it, guaranteed, I just can't tell who or that it'll be worth the risking pitchforks and torches crowd when it's gone so far. 
 Or it’s just political types so detached they actually don’t know the consequences of what they are doing 
 I have family who live outside San Francisco. They say whoever they go into city they expect to witness some crime. 
 Sounds about right tbh 
 @Xuya @Anthony "Is A Nice Guy" Bacon @Grumblesock @meso What likey will happen in most areas is someone will break your window and try to find shit. Otherwise is crime on stores.
