I see that. I could have sworn I saw/read somewhere about the original charge being "theft of government property" but I am unable to find a cite for it now.

But, I reiterate---- Shoplifting is a STATE LEVEL crime NOT a Federal crime per the LIMITED number of specific listed federal crimes in the US CONSTITUTION and it should be prosecuted AT THE STATE LEVEL.

Wouldn't interstate commerce clause ... blah blah (stomach ache --- puuuuke) .....

god i hate the interstate clause .... how its been mangled .....

But I don't think that shoplifting has been caught in that new yet ... I could be wrong ..

here's a case:
