Roger Chaddock of Newfield Street, Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent was under the belief that large companies were not affected by theft, Telford Magistrates Court heard on Tuesday.
Chaddock was visiting Shrewsbury with a friend when they stopped off at Morrisons in the town, the court was told.
The 53-year-old was sitting in the car at around 2.10pm as his friend was in the supermarket using the toilet, when he spotted a trolley “loaded with large amounts of gardening items” in the foyer and got the "harebrained idea" of walking off with it, the court heard.
