Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Should I call the store

[Jan27]

I got caught shoplifting a month ago for amount of $16 in a Supermarket in NJ. They gave me the civil demand in the store and I have sent the check of $150 to their corp. office in NY 3 days later. My check was cashed by them on Jan 6. I was told by the LP officer at store that after I paid the civil demand within few weeks I will a letter (receipt of payment) and then this whole thing is over, but it has been 3 weeks since I paid still I have not receive any letter from them. Should I call them to make sure my payment is promptly applied to my account? But I really don't want to call them if I don't have to. Please advice!!

You need to call whoever you paid. If they did get check (which you are they did since it was cashed) ask them about reciept.

Thank you. But will I be creating myself problems by calling them and ask for receipt? (Such as remind them of my case and then file a police report on me. They did not call the police at the time of the incident) I just want this chapter of my life be over.

No you paid them thats what they wanted. Your just asking for reciept.
