I didn't realize it was in the same thread. I added these questions, By not paying this, will I get charged and therefor the crime be placed on my record? What are the steps that are taken before this would be put on my record?
You were already told that its highly unlikely that you will ever be charged for it. If you are not charged for it, it cannot go on your record.
Re: Kohls Shoplifting (Record)
Not a criminal record, but Kohl's may report to the NRTD which will make it hard to get a job at a member retail store for the next seven years.
Re: Kohls Shoplifting (Record)
It is, however, more likely that you will be criminally charged if you don't pay the civil demand than if you do.
Re: Kohls Shoplifting (Record)
Even if you "accidentally" shoplifted as you claim the judge won't buy that. They always here that criminals mistakenly committed the crime. If we all said "Oops it was a mistake" then there would be no crimes. You are an adult and if you do get a Civil Demand pay it up and you can still be tried in court but more than likely due to the low amount of the goods you stole the store may just decide to prosecute you with the Civil Demand and no record of the case will be entered into your criminal record unless you go to court.
Please be careful next time and I hope this will be a good lesson for you. Yes we all make mistakes but we have to man up and fix them even if its monetary. So I had an accident I am responsible to have auto insurance and work to rectify the costs involved.

On what do you base that? The service that grubs for the civil demand money is far removed from those who could make a criminal complaint, and vice versa, for companies like Kohl's. I've certainly not heard of it happening with ANY company, let alone Kohl's. I've not even heard of Kohl's taking anybody to civil court over the civil demand let alone dreding up a three month old criminal complaint.
