The U.S. city where stealing goes unpunished

In one major U.S. city, theft laws have lost their teeth. After local leaders raised the minimum amount for felony charges and prosecutors began dropping minor cases, shoplifting exploded. Many stores closed, citing losses and safety concerns. Critics call it “legalized theft,” while officials insist they’re focusing on violent crime instead.
