Can You Go Back to a Store Where You Once Shoplifted
My question involves criminal law for the state of: California
This matter concerns an incident that happened 7-12+ years ago,I'm unsure on the exact date but it happened when I was in school.
I shoplifted a piece of magazine,by piece I mean a single paper,I ripped it off and put the magazine back and left the store.I was never caught,I never returned to the store,and I never shoplifted again.
I honestly can't remember which store it was,anyways I want to know if I can go into the store(whatever one it may have been) and shop without worrying about anything happening to me legally.
Thank you too all who read and write on this matter.
Re: Can I Go in the Store Without Being Prosecuted
If you were not caught, and you were not banned from the store, then you can go into the store. If, for some reason, they do not want you there, they will ask you to leave.
Stop stressing. Don't commit a crime, and you'll be fine.

If it was that long ago, you are okay.
