A DESPERATE man driven to steal $9.32 worth of goods from a australian Woolworths store last month is seeing better days now, bringing home almost $2000 a week.
Kelvin Power, 32, pleaded guilty in the Australian Magistrates Court on Wednesday to changing the price of goods without consent.
The court heard that on April 18, Power removed mark-down labels from goods at Woolworths store and placed them on full-priced items, which he then purchased at a self-serve checkout.
Legal Aid solicitor Grant Ireland said Power, who was out of work at the time, had since gained a position as a loader driver at a Central Queensland coal mine.
Power also faced charges of stealing petrol from a parked vehicle at Stockland Rockhampton and hiding from police in a bedroom cupboard to avoid arrest.
Police prosecutor Matt Heelan said Power had a history of shoplifting.
Magistrate Barry Cosgrove said he took into account that the crimes were not "high-end".
"There are cameras in supermarkets so you will be caught, and you were caught," Mr Cosgrove said.
Power was convicted and fined $200 plus $9.32 in restitution for the Woolworths offence.
He was also fined $250 for stealing petrol and $200 for obstructing police.
"Generally, shoplifting is a juvenile activity, but there are always exceptions to the rule," he said.
"Tough economic times can play a role - people try to justify it in their heads - but if you keep offending you will end up in prison."
Det Sgt Ingram said community awareness was the best deterrent for shoplifting.
"Retailers need to put measures in place to prevent it and report what's going on," he said.

In a survey of 89 companies in Singapore, Hay Group’s
Fresh Graduate Paysurvey 2010 also found that, in the current graduate hiring season, Legal jobs attract the highest starting salaries of S$2,650 per month for degree holders, followed by Engineers (S$2,643) and Research & Development (S$2,629), while the other jobs command an average of S$2,461 per month (Table 1).
