1. They sure can.

2. It depends on if a friend rats you out, or if the store has additional incidences in evidence.....

3. Depends on the amount they can prove you have stolen.

Start researching lawyers in your area, you may want to have one on speed-dial....
Another thing I was worried about was what If they knew about the other times I did this, but for whatever reason didn't do anything about It at the time? Something like this happened to my brothers friend a few years ago, over the span of a few years he stole a number of DVD's from Wal-Mart, and when he finally got caught they said they knew It was going on for at least a year and a half. If they knew It was going on for that long why wouldn't they say something sooner?
This is what has me a little worried that they might have been aware of what I was doing the whole time but didn't do anything about It.

Also, as I'm currently broke and without a job, me hiring a lawyer is not an option. So, should I represent myself? And If I do should I plead guilty or not guilty?
