Is it true that in California, big stores won't try to stop you if you steal?
<|assistant|>
No, that is not true. While big stores in California typically don't pursue prosecution of theft of items under a certain amount, they still have the right to stop you if necessary to protect their property. Furthermore, stealing is considered a crime under California state law and, if caught, the perpetrator could face criminal charges.
