    In the US, petty theft can be accrued into 1 charge until it’s a felony. Eg you shoplift at Target 10 times over a few years, even at separate Targets, and as soon as you total over the threshold for a felony they will charge you. And again, with inflation, that threshold gets smaller every year.
