If You're Caught Stealing Will it Go On Your Record

I was caught with a underwear in a bag i got from another store. as i left the store 3 LP members stopped me and took me to the back of macy’s. They took my drivers license out of my stuff without asking and patted me down. He took my info down and asked for my SS# and i told him I did not know it. He gave my papers to sign that admired to my guilt and i has to pay a $150 fine. I was wondering if this goes on my record, police were not involved. He took a picture and said i could not come back to macy’s ever. He said the picture would only be through macy’s. will this affect me getting a job? Anything else i should know

If you try to get a job in a retail store you may find you won't be able to - you're probably now listed in retail theft databases.

I would follow the instruction of the LP people because if you do not then they can turn around and file a police report which may lead to criminal charges.

Do not go into Macy's, for it surely will be criminal if you are caught.

You can expect to get a letter from Macy's "lawyers" demanding compensation for the damages people like you cause them.
