My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Georgia
I shoplifted 19dollars worth of stuff. They pulled me in the room, talked to me, took my name , did not call the police and said i will get a restitution notice in the mail. How much could this cost? i am 17 and live with my husband but a family member gets our mail. I dont want anyone to know and i was wondering what the notice looks like and what excuse i can give them for walmart sending me something in the mail. will it say anything legal on the front? Can I pass it off as something else from walmart or is it obviously something legal? im ashamed and have already let my husband down, i dont want to let anyone else down....Since what i stole was under 20 how much can the fine be? anyone with experience? i need help im so scared. I cant afford a 500 dollar fine...
