She only got caught once, but as an ongoing thing I think it's safe to say that she stole more than once.

But did she steal more than 5k more than once. As written, you can steal $25 a million times and the law does not apply. You can steal $25 million one time and the law does not apply.

So far as the three strikes statute is concerned, there is no difference. The law is blind.
