  • I was caught shoplifting. Help!

    I'm a minor. I was shoplifting, and a store worker caught me. The items were returned, including ones I paid for and ones I bought from other stores. ..sadly. They claimed I was also banned from another store because they found another receipt in my bag from a store of a different location. Same chain.

    They don't know my name, age, and I lied about my location. They only have a rough description of my appearance to give to the other store, which doesn't stand out. I most definitely won't be returning to the store I was caught in, and I have learned my lesson. I'm aware I'm incredibly lucky to even get out of there without the police getting called.

    ​​​I assume that's what they were trying to do. Scare me out of doing it again.

    I did buy the other items with card, but they didn't believe I bought them.

    ​​​​So I doubt they would check to track my location, although in that case, would I still get into legal trouble?

    Is it likely I'll still get into legal trouble even if I don't return to the store? I'm incredibly scared over this.

      Nope, not with reciepts. I feel like I need to ask for reciepts from now on then. Because the other items were cosmetics, so it could have been mistaken for their own stock. So I can't prove I paid for the other items.
