Not true. Has to go over $1,000 to be felony - and that's coming from a red state here in the midwest. This red state is even talking about raising that limit because it was set in the 70's and hasn't been adjusted for inflation. Last I heard they were thinking about $5,000, but I don't think they've done anything. One of the things they'e done is made it the lesser of retail value and wholesale value. You may have stolen $1,500 worth of goods, but it cost the retailer $900 so you're still not committing a felony.
