Well, Kohl’s retail prices are grossly inflated so the stuff they stole was probably worth about $1,000.

A bit ridiculous for the judge to go by sticker prices - if the items were on sale, that’s the cost of the items, the judge should be disbarred. Whether or not to allow coupons into the calculation could be up to the judge, but the store can say each item is $1M and on sale for $59.99, is the judge going to use the $1M as the price?
I’m betting a competent lawyer will take this to appeal and win.
