[QUOTE="Hans Blaster, post: 77658332, member: 396028"] still not a good idea. Hyperbole doesn't do you credit. Making the value threshold for a *FELONY* at $1000 doesn't make theft of $900 not a crime, it just makes it a misdemeanor. The potential penalties vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and I don't know much about them. It is just that the penalty and consequences for theft of $100, $1000, $10000, and $1000000 are different. I have no idea. I've never been to New York. I have seen open air markets for goods in other cities, but I was under the impression that the goods were a combination of cheep knockoffs and counterfeits. I've not heard claims of stolen goods until very recently in threads like this one. I have no way to verify those claims. Who said there was no crime? Crime statistics are based on reported crimes. If victims are not reporting the thefts, then how should authorities know about them. Feelings won't do. What? Not sure what the point was here. [/QUOTE]
