In some states, a Shoplifting offense involving a person who has been previously banned from a retail establishment can be charged with felony Burglary. So, in some instances it is not considered different than Burglary, as stated in the entry.

Exit inspections / Retail bag check exit policy
These are two different sections discussing the same thing.

No objection thus far. I'm going to remove the "Retail bag check exit policy" section as it's redundant and also riddled with grammatical errors and manager-like speak.

Proposal: Remove Notable Cases Section
The notable cases section strikes me as mostly trivia, and neither necessary to the article nor helpful to understanding shoplifting. Also, there is no apparent measure of what makes a case noteworthy beyond whether the person involved is famous, a criterion that of itself seems to either make for an arbitrarily selected short list of incidents or an extremely long list.

Are there any thoughts on this proposal?

I agree. I think any "notable cases" should be described only if they are remarkable and noteworthy instances of the crime, not otherwise unremarkable instances of the crime that are notable because the perpetrator was famous. Nothing here qualifies.
