When I worked loss prevention for Sears, I caught a woman on camera using a booster girdle to steal a mink coat. It was on sale for $999.99. The threshold for grand larceny was $1,000. She could only be charged with petit larceny.
Grandson worked security for Wallyworld. Caught a perp stealing a pocketknife. If over a certain price, they were required to call the police. Perp asked if they could do a price check on the knife!

That is an interesting point. If you steal sales items are you charged according to the regular price or the sale price.
