Hi,
I almost got caught shoplifting at a major retail store in Canada and I have a few questions. Basically what happened is I was going to try to walk out of the store with a product that I didn't pay for - pretending it was on the receipt. The cashier informed me that it wasn't on the receipt, so I promptly returned the item to the shelf and left the store. I returned to the store a few days later and the security guards there asked me to leave so I did no problem or anything. Also they have my name and phone number from a previous instance where I was paying for something via credit card. I have stole from this store a few times in the past (but like 6 months ago). I have also store from a completely different store a few times in the last month. I just have a few questions.

1) Do I have legitimate concern to worry that the retail store I attempted to steal from will review old video footage of me stealing in the past?

2) Are there any chance the cops will be called for this said instance or anything of that nature? Does this situation hold any ramifications for me aside from being "banned" from the store for X amount of time?

3) Will the retail store share information of me to the police or other retail stores saying that I'm a potential shoplifter or something of that nature?

Basically, I'm pretty spooked after this incident and won't be attempting any more thefts again.
 
Also, is there any chance my name will be added to any kind of "Retail theft" lists or anything of that ilk for this incident?

Not really they would have to go through hours upon hours of video. No one has that kind of time

They could file a Police report but thats unlikely. The best time to call Police is when they had you with them

3) Will the retail store share information of me to the police or other retail stores saying that I'm a potential shoplifter or something of that nature?
Possibily

Adding names to said data is for shoplifters caught and processed from store. Criminal charges need not be filed
