I am increasingly convinced that you can't steel something clearly marked as being for sale, it's a sale. It can not ba a crime to take something from a store shelf. The store can however demand payment.
Debt collectors* should aid sellers in collection of their customers debt, not the police. It shall not be crime to buy things from an seller, or to be in debt to said seller.

*Their exist no reason debt collection can't be a well regulated industry.
