Should I Confess

I am hoping they are going to decide its not worth the time and effort to pursue him. As a business owner I understand but also know spending several man hours to locate a loss of that amount would not be cost effective. I would just make a note and if it happened again I would act or a better program as a whole to stop them all. My fingers are crossed and hopefully it will be dropped. Any one else had this issue?

Since the expertlaw crystal ball is out for recalibration we cannot say. Far as cost effective it does not require the store to put out much as if they got a plate number, Cc number or anything else thry turn it over to Police and they are done with it. Don't think a simple item does not cost a retailer either. For every item stolen they must sell about 20 more to make up lost from just that one. It adds up quick

So bottom line is if they got the plate number and decide to use it, it is just a matter of how busy the local police dept. is and the priority they place on it. To when he will be getting the knock on the door and he has 2 years to sweat it.

Pretty much yes

Well I am crossing my fingers they didn't pick it up and there for have no need to check the cameras that day or his plates were not visible. I am paying for all his help and he may end up in jail anyway... Thanks for all the help.

Jail is not likely even if caught. The worry (on his part) is a form of punishment itself. Tell him to obey al traffic laws etc. If his name has a warrant on it one Police contact is all it will take

So they won't be showing up at 2am in the morning for him? I guess petty theft is not that high on the police list for storming the doors. Maybe its time for him to start walking!

They could. There are several means they could use if store filed charges

. Letter
. Phone call
. visit to home
. Visit to work
. warrant wait for traffic stop or any Police contact

and of course nothing could happen as they did not get his info. I would advise he stay out of store though

Very Frustrating.... I wish there were a to find out if they did with out incriminating him. If he needs an attorney I'd get one but the $$ I am putting out now for his therapy is too much... We its all about the waiting game now..

Yes we are going to reimburse with his money the items were under $30.00 and I think were going to buy the replacements. Then anonymously return them back to the store.

I am not sure how you return things anonymously , but the items wont be put back on the shelf for sale. They will be thrown away as the store could not be sure they were not tampered with.
