So, the question is: how likely is it that the store will notice the switch and track him down?
50%, +/- 50%. Until your friend finds a bona fide psychic, he'll have to wait for time to answer that question.

How long can it take for the store to press charges?
The statute of limitations varies by state. In some states the statute of limitations might be as short as one year; at the other extreme, some states have no statute of limitations for crimes.

Oh come one...name on state that has no statue of limitations for shoplifting...or some kind of crime like this...seriously? The only thing that any state has no statute of limitations for is murder.

Re: Switching a Price Tag
Preliminary question for you: Are you "the friend?" Secondly, EVIDENCE is all which matters and you neglected to specify in which location of the store the crime transpired. Put different, because it would be illegal for Marshalls to surveil the fitting rooms, and provided "your friend" committed the offense in said rooms, no evidence that "your friend" performed the tag switch exists. Just because your friend purchased something with a switched price tag doesn't suggest they are the one whom switched it. You've informed us that in fact they did commit the offense, but what I'm submitting to you is that in terms of a defense, the most vital element to examine is "WHERE" the offense occurred. If in an aisle in the store, video evidence presumably captured it. If in a fitting room, tell you're friend they can calm down, nothing will result from this, except perhaps a newly found set of ethics and reform.

They most certainly can conduct physical surveillance on the fitting rooms. Depending on the skill of the thief, it is possible to get a ticket switching case from the fitting rooms. No video needed.

Please clarify why it would be legal to have surveillance in the fitting rooms? Following this premise, it is conceivable that owners can place surveillance in female bathrooms? You can't identify privacy legalities from this circumstance? My aim is to try and illustrate that if fitting rooms were not monitored, in direct sight of a consumer changing, than evidence is lacking. It's all about the evidence, my friend.

I erred in reading your note, I apologize. I failed to specify which method of surveillance.
