What is the punishment for shoplifting?
<|assistant|>
In most cases, shoplifting is punishable by a fine and/or jail time, depending on the value and number of prior offenses. The fine can range from $25 to $10,000 and the person may have to spend up to 18 months in prison. In some states, shoplifting can also result in Restitution, which requires the shoplifter to pay the store for the cost of the items stolen.
