$5,000 seems like a pretty high cutoff. Doesn’t seem like it will do anything against the majority of these events which seem to be clothing and convenience store flash mobs. At the least it should be stolen goods value and damage to property value and compensation value for the business needing to be closed for repairs.

That doesn't seem too high. It's $9000 over a ninety day period, and it only applies to organized groups of shoplifters. Realistically anyone who is actually organizing a group of people to steal for such a long period of time is going to steal more than $5000 worth of merchandise.
