Hello i need some help on what to do. Im in the california state and i like in elk grove but yesterday i was caught shoplifting about $30 or less at khols the lp stopped me outside and asked why i was stopped and to come with him. We go to the back room they ask for the merchandise and so i give it to him. They had me fill and sign some papers saying that im banned from the store and some paper saying this was going to be kept with khols and not go anywhere else. They didnt call the cops. But they did tell me i was going to get a "fine" in the mail in about 4-6 weeks. Ive been reading some situations with other people and many "lawyers" said to not pay it and nothing will happen.. I dont know if the site is credible.. Im just worried because im 18 and i dont have the kind of money to ask an attorney, to pay the fine, or not pay the fine and go to court.. I heard its a civil demand and they most likely wont sue.. Im just really prananoid and depressed and stressed. I dont want my mom findng out and be disappointed in me, i just would like some very truthful adivce.. Trust me i very well learned my lesson and i am never doing this again!
