    Well with shoplifting, aren’t the penalties correlated with the value of the items stolen?

    And if you then went on to do it again the next day, and got cought, I imagine the combined value of the stolen items would be considered in the case.

      Yeah, the punishmentd does scale up the more you have committed a crime before being caught. But it still cannot exceed the maximum specified in the law.
