Stores of course ignore shoplifters since they do not invest anough money in systems to detect all shoplifters.
So if loosing any money is irrelevant and the true argument is that it is illegal then that is the argument that should be used and it is a bit dishonest to use the emotive argument about loosing money when that argument is broken.
