I was with my cousin about Saturday (Jan. 2nd) at Urban Outfitters. I took these 2 18.00 bracelets, these earrings that were worth 12.00, and some 10 dollar glasses. Well I walked out and the ringer went off, I kept walking, but then turned back to walk through again, I emptied my pockets and they took me to the back in their office. They asked my name, I told them it, but I have 2 last names I go by, so I gave em one. I didnt have a drivers license, and I'm not a legal resident of CA yet until a year, however, I did have some ID from the DMV that identifies me, I didnt have it with me tho. Anyway, I gave em my birthday, (I'm 18), my address, phone number and last 4 digits of social security number......cuz I did not know the rest. Anyway, they asked if I was lying, I told them I was being honest. So they viewed the earrings and saw the case was damaged they said they could charge me with that since its damaged and one of the workers went on a caculator and multiplied 12 times 5, making it 60. So then they told me I was banned for about 3 years from there and that I would be arrested if I came back before 3 years. they made me sign a sheet that said I was trespassing or something, after I signed it, it appeared as if one of the workers ripped it up. So then I was escorted out of the office and they said I'd be receiving a letter in the mail about court or something of that nature. The police were not called, what can I expect from all of this?? Thank you so much for your help and God bless.
 
Re: Stealing from Store name in CA! HELP PLEASE!!

I expect you will get two letters

Letter A will be from the store's Lawyers with a Civil fine. I expect yours around $300.00

Letter B will be your court date.

You should contact a Lawyer after getting letter B and discuss your legal options

Thank you Admin, I am worried about this since nothing like this has ever happened before. Im a good person, I just felt the urge to take something, this will be a lesson for me....I'm kind of glad this happened, in a way, but Im ashamed of what I did, anyway, thank you.
Also, how do I get a Diversion program thing? I know nothing about the court system and lawyers and all that.

As I posted earlier you should be contacting Attorneys. They are best ones to see if a Diversion program is available and if you qualify
