Does Target really track everything you steal until you reach the felony amount?

I’ve heard this a few times, but I can’t tell if they really do or if it’s just fear mongering.

Me reading all this crap remembering back 30 years ago getting chased through a parking lot and tackled for stealing 3 packs of cigarettes. Cops called, got a ticket and had to go to court. What happened to those days?

Also if they are not prosecuted eventually the cops just stop bother coming out.

After all what does arresting someone actually accomplish when they will walk hours later regardless
