I don't think shoplifting is a big problem in USA, I think that the sign from California is mostly meant as a deterrence.
In my 30 years in USA I have never personally witnessed a shoplifting. I am sure it does happen but it is not very common.

not my post but I will go ahead and chime in and say that it isn't a huge problem in USA as a whole, but the lax punishments that certain parts of the country have towards people stealing things resulted in people stealing all the time in plain sight... they didn't care if they got caught because they knew they were going to face no consequences plus the store owners are not allowed to stop them from stealing.
It's a very real problem, and it is because of bad government that things like this become a problem in the first place. If you steal, you should be punished IMO.
