Price Tag Swap

Without a time machine?

They have 1-2 years (varies by state) to press charges.

You should have thought of consequences before your actions. As of now, you can only hold your breath for a year or so, and learn your lesson.

When you swap price tags....you are shoplifting. You are depriving the store of it's earnings; you are raising prices for all the innocent people who pay the honest price.

Yes, just tell them what you told us - you're 17 and you had absolutely no idea that switching price tags on merchandise in order to pay a lower price was wrong and/or illegal. They're sure to believe you (just like we did), it's like soooo obvious that anyone could make it almost to adulthood without knowing this duh.
