My son was caught shoplifting yesterday at Safeway. (Why, I don't know, he had the money to pay for it). He took items worth $18. He was stopped by a secret shopper and called to the office. He told me he had to sign some papers, I don't know details, then the cops were called and he was taken to the police station. My husband then picked him up. As far as the papers go, I believe they showed that he will have to pay $100 plus $18 (for the items he had to give back) and probably that he is no longer allowed at any Safeway stores. He is 17, a senior in HS, and planning on going to college. He was also told he would get a court date. So, I am worried sick as to what will happen to him, he is being punished at home, but I know that is the least of his problem right now. My husband went to speak to someone at the store today just to check if his story he told us was what had really happened. Well, it seemed to match. The lady at the store said that she was not even going to call the police, but the company who does security for them insisted. Anyhow, I know I am rambling on, but this is driving me crazy. Oh, and this is his first offense (and hopefully last), he is a good student, and has a part-time job he loves.:blush
