A 21-year-old Michigan man was sentenced to nine years in federal prison Wednesday in federal court in Charlotte, North Carolina for his role in a failed scheme to steal credit card numbers from the Lowe's chain of home improvement stores by taking advantage of an unsecured wi-fi network at a store in suburban Detroit.

It was $0 to the consumers, but certainly not Lowes. To get a basic idea of why, read "I only replaced index.html"

Even if it was $0, you can't attempt to rob a bank and get a misdomeaner just because you don't get away with any money.
