The employees you mention are already being paid anyway. He won't do time and will pay court costs plus do a little probation. It probably wasn't the first time he did it and even if it was, if nothing was done to deter it, people would be taking every thing from cars to portable appliances there to recharge.

WR, we can all agree that this is too much for "stolen property" that amounts to five cents. But as electric cars become more ubiquitous, we as a society will have to stop taking electricity for granted. That means, for example, the next time you charge your phone or laptop at Starbucks, you might have to ask for permission. Tenchusatsu
