In the uk most shops have to charge 5p for shopping bags.?

What would be the consequences if you took them without paying the charge?

Update:

The point is that it cannot be theft. It is not a tax and the cost of the bag is already taken in the charge for the shopping. The money collected by the stores must be given away to a good local cause.

Update 2:

Then tell me exactly who I would be stealing from? Not the shop as fas as they are concerned they have already charged for the cost of the bag in the shopping - and it is not the government - it is not a tax.

Update 3:

Not stealing from charity. Not taking any money from anybody. The bags have already been paid for.

    Taking something without permission is stealing, regardless of the value.

    Whatever you think, it's still theft.
