You can learn that in law school I suppose or just by following politics. The bit about relationships -- that's an indirect quote from Samuel Johnson who used that phrase to describe a second marriage. Extending it to relationships in general is even more cynical and yes, one can learn that at uni, although not in class.

That aside , the £200 threshold just means the offender can carry on regardless until trespassed. Trespassing the perp is the only meaningful method the control the crime and it is incumbent on us all the assist the shop owner and the police to identify the person.
    • How was what I posted in any way childish? I stand by what I said, that the description given could apply to many people and was not helpful  in identifying the person. It is not clear why it needed to be posted on here at all.
    • For goods under £200, shoplifting is treated as a summary offense and is often dealt with through fines or community service. Changes were made to the Anti-social behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42492488 Shoplifting is a massive problem right now.
