@ Paul Barrett

The value is not really relevant - stealing is stealing, and a crime.

Stealing is taking someones possessions which they paid for with money they earned - the actual value means different things to different people but stealing is the same for everyone.

A Louis Vuitton bag can easily cost E1000. For the super rich, a Hermes can set you back over E5000.
