Hello! I just have a few questions.
I got caught shoplifting even though it was my first time and first offense (stupid mistake I am aware) for around 300-400 of like 3 items of clothes. I cooperated, they took everything back. I Never signed a paper and they never took a picture of me. They said I would receive a civil demand and to pay it immediately or I will be sued.
My question is if it is appropriate for me to call and ask if there was a police report/if they plan on filing one to see if I should "*lawyer up*.
I LP mentioned I was lucky she was being nice that day and that if I pay the demand that's the end of it and just to learn from my mistake. I am aware that it is possible they could still file etc. etc.
I just would like to know if it is okay if I call the store to ask if any further action was taken and if it will result in a criminal record even though she said I would not?
- Thank you for your time
