“ALERT! Suspect has stolen: “Snickers™ worth: $1.49” … “Please hold still for the sniper, criminal.”

Only unrealistic part is Human sniper and the warning. It'll be a drone the moment a drone ~~could make the shot with 50.1% odds.~~ can make the shot in sufficiently few shots that cost of ammo & electricity beats wages for a sniper.
