It can happen today....it can happen tomorrow....it can happen 1 year down the road....you never know, the store might get a new LP manager who decides to review tapes on Day #600......

Thank you for replying pandorasbox. I've been reading the pasts posts here up until 2007. Saw a lot people were tracked down even after being out of the store premises. Thought im already safe since i got out of the store safely. Some were tracked down the following day, a week later, 2 weeks later or even months later. I even read person who just took a bag of popcorn and still tracked him down. All were tracked because they were caught on tape and their licensed plate number were recorded. I guess all i can do for now is pray. Hope for the best. Stay away from all the walmarts. Stop stealing and just completely regret this mistake. Thank you for all the responses.

And get a consultation with a lawyer just in case the day comes when you need one.

One more question though, once the alarm wents off at walmart does it always mean someone/somebody stole something? It is possible that it could be false alarm? Or something that i was wearing or bought from a previous store cause the alarm ringing? Thanks!

It could be either. But when I worked at Kohl's, if it went off when I was cashiering, we had to enter the date, time, which door into a log for LP.

Stores can be very reasonable. But since you have admitted you stole 4 lipsticks....it's very possible that LP will look at such a log, look at video surveillance and make a connection.

This is a pretty lousy video. Point and click to see more images, and get an idea of what video cameras can do nowadays.

Thanks for the link. The camera captures very clear. Im now worried even more. No sleep for a couple of days now. This is really not worth it. Should i just throw the 4 lipsticks out?

What difference do you think that would make?

Well, if you have not opened them....you could mail them to the store.....with a note of apology. But don't sign your name or put a return address on the package.

OR....you could get a money order and do the same.
