Caught Shoplifting at Walmart with a Friend

[Security Consultant]

The total amount of money I had to pay was $50 for a "Stop Shoplifting" class. And I have to do 25 hours of community service, but I only have 9 left and I go whenever I want to, as long as I get it done by August 27. WalMart didn't "Civilly demand" anything so pretty much all of you are wrong just to know.

Your 1st post was on June 22nd and it's not uncommon to get the Civil Demand 3 or more months down road. Wait for it, knowing Walmart's procedure for handling the CD process - it's coming. In Ohio, with the amount that you stole - you can expect your CD to be $50 - $100.

My mom call Walmart about a week ago and they said they are no longer "pursuing" my friend or I and that it's up to the court to decide our punishment/fines... which was already decided so I'm not waiting for anything.

Come back and tell us when you get the $200 Civil Demand in the mail.

Ask your mom what your crime really cost her. She is paying for someone to supervise you while you perform your community service hours, someone has to keep track or your check in/out, hours, and make sure you are working your ass off. They don't do that for free.

We'll you could have informed us about that little tidbit before you wasted our time. With your attitude it won't be long before you try this again.

He'll do it again. Guaranteed. No remorse.

"The way I saw it, was that WalMart is a big corporation with A LOT of money and it wouldn't hurt them too bad if two lower class teenagers took mascara, hair dye, and chocolate milk." This is from his first post.

I guess if I were a lower-class person, he would find it ok if I stole from him.....that favorite CD of his could net me a few bucks at the used CD store. But since he can afford to buy the CD, I guess it is ok if I steal it from him.....

I also suspect that since the case is not closed yet, the court has yet to impose their fees. They often wait until final adjudication due to the possible variables that can change between now and the final disposition of the case.

If you do happen to be right (honest) (I have serious doubts), realize it is your criminal record here, not ours. Mine is shiny clean. How about yours?

did you really only have to pay 50$ for a stop shoplifting class, i am in a similar situation that you were in, i am just scared and looking for awnsers

I highly suspect the poster was making that claim trying to prove everybody that gave her advice wrong. Hell, a speeding ticket costs more than that, even if there isn't an actual fine. Fees and whatever they want to call all the money they tack onto a ticket can be several hundred dollars in many jurisdictions.

She may have had to pay the $50 for a shoplifting class but there were likely court fees and possible fines she failed to mention.
