    Default Caught Shoplifting and Ran

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida

    Okay, so yesterday, I got caught shoplifting. Loss Prevention/Walmart Security stopped me and told me to follow them. right as they were bringing me into their office, I seen my opportunity to get away, so I dropped the bag and ran. It was such a horrible experience! They would not stop chasing me (while yelling that they had already called the police), even off of the premises they continued. I eventually got away, I couldn't believe it. Now I know for a fact that all they have is my face on camera. No ID or names were given. What could they do?

    I know shoplifting is wrong and I shouldn't have done it but I did and its over. I wont do it again, that's for sure. So please just give me any information you can. Whether its from previous experience, or actual knowledge on how walmart loss prevention handles these situations.

    Wonder if they will run the FINGERPRINTS on the bag, and also give police your photo....

    For sure, your photo will be in all local WalMart LP offices, by the time cards for all employees.....

    don't ever go to that walmart again
    don't go near anyone who works there
    don't tell anyone about it, ever, the 5th amendment is God's gift to you, love and cherish it

    and if the owners of this board managed to estimate your posting IP to a location with a recent getaway (doesn't happen too often), the walls start to close in

    you are not in trouble yet and posting here was your first mistake

    As a Walmart Loss Prevention Agent I would review the CCTV cams in reverse and see if you made contact with anybody, stopped by a cash register and most importantly... What you drove to the store.

    If I can get a plate number or if you used a credit card/check/discount card, you're good as caught. If I've seen you speak with any Walmart employees, I'll interview them in my office and open an investigation.

    If you've done none of the above... You may have gotten away with it. But at a bare minimum, I can promise your picture is posted in every Walmart and Sams club within 100 miles.

    I know this thread is old, but I'll reply anyway.

    First off Walmart AP's aren't supposed to chase you if you run.
    They can't chase you more the 10ft let alone off company property.

    What more than likely happened.
    They called the police, reviewed CCTV, and made a report.
    When and if you get caught, you'll obviously get charged with theft.
    But also since you ran, you're going to be trespassed from all walmarts.

    I can promise your picture is posted in every Walmart and Sams club within 100 miles.
    Pictures are never posted in stores.

    "Pictures are never posted in stores."

    Wanna bet? Maybe not in the PUBLIC areas. But stores CAN AND DO post them in various places like:
    - Next to employee time clocks
    - Employee Break/Lunch rooms.
    - Employee Coat/Locker Rooms
    - Loss Prevention Offices
    - Management Offices.
