In New Hampshire, the punishment for the crime of shoplifting is a fine up to $2,000 and a year in jail. If the theft is more than $1,000, the charge becomes a felony and has more severe consequences.

Shoplifting is considered a felony ormisdemeanor depending upon the amount of goods that is stolen....Keep in mind there are many forms of stealing. If a register is used in any way such as voiding, returning, or free bagging through a sneaky method with the register...it is automatically a felony charge of defrauding a business. The minimum charge you can hope for is a fine of around $500....at the very minimum. Habitual offenders fines can be very steep. Don't steal you will probably be caught. If you arent caught the first time you will probably become addicted to stealing and you will be caught. Loss Prevention is everywhere and if you cant see them that means there looking at you through a fixture, disguised as a customer, or following you with the eye in the sky. If you are dumb enough to get caught you should seriously consider getting a lawyer. Shoplifting is not a good charge to have on your record for life.
