Re: Retail fraud at Macys

Re: Retail fraud at Macys
Yeah. I was caught at Macy's in August. I had just turned 15.
I'm not allowed back into any Macys in the country for a year.
they took back the stuff i stole
they sent me a civil charge (what i took +200)
itll be no less than 100 no more than 200 charge.
I haven't gotten a court date, but when i do, ill let you know.
Can we keep in contact here?
I'm really scared and feel horrible.
I just hope I can do diversion and DONT get probation. oh lord, that would be so horrible.
They didn't take my picture or anything, but they did make me sign a contract saying i wasnt allowed in any for a year.
the police were not contacted for me. i live in seattle washington. but i do have a misdemeanor on my record. I took about 170 dollars. =/

Re: Retail fraud at Macys
Ana marie,
Well if they didn't contact the cops right then and there then u have no court or anything else to worry about. Just pay them the civil damages so they won't take any furthur action against u and don't go back to macys for a year like they said cos if u do u'll be transpassing then they'll call the cops on u.

Re: Retail fraud at Macys
ama24, Unfortunetely for me, I am going to court.
It doesn't matter if the police were contacted or not. Because I am juvinile and because I committed a crime, I'm being sent to court anyways. Although if I don't get the court date within a year, and I make sure I'm not on court lists I'm off the hook.
I just pray that's what happens though I doubt it.
Washington can take up to 5,000 juvinile cases a year.
