Well it's a crime pretty much anywhere. The punishments can range from getting yelled at by the store owner and possibly banned from a store all the way to a felony conviction on your record and state prison time. One big factor is how much you stole (the value). Say you walked into Walmart in Massachusetts and stole a shirt that was worth $10 and they caught you and pressed charges. The worst you could get is a $250.00 fine and mark on your record if you were a first time offender of pretty theft. But let's say you stole a $300.00 ring then you could be charged with grand theft (In MA) then they could give you a max of 2 1/2 years in county jail and a $1,000.00 fine. BUT let's say you stole 100 of those rings = $30,000.00 then you would likely face grand larceny charges that could you up in state prison for 5 years and a fine of $25,000. Of course the punishment is up to a court of law regardless of how much you stole, probably the worst punishment for shoplifters is it goes on there record
