    Default Stopped by store security

    I was shopping in a local grocery with a hand held tag reader and failed to scan two items. I was stopped by security at the door and this was confirmed after going through my bags. The police were not contacted but they had me sign a document acknowledging I left the store with items not paid for. I wrote at the bottom that I thought they scanned but they had not. They then sent me on my way. What happens now? I was not told anything by the security guy. Do I expect something in the mail or what? Any help appreciated. The total value of the items was $40.

    Default Shoplifting Charge

    It's impossible to guess what might happen. We don't even know if a police report was filed. If not, it's probable that nothing more will happen.

    I would call the store that you were stopped at and ask to speak with someone from their loss prevention. Did they get your personal information? If they did then it is possible for them to send you a fine in the mail (civil recovery).
