My question involves criminal law for the state of: New York
My friend began shoplifting from a big chain store a few months ago. It started small like with wrist bands, socks etc. He wanted me to shoplift with him, and stupidly i began to. I took a pair of gloves and some wristbands. I haven't thought much about it until recently, when we did it again. This time we took almost 150 dollars worth of items. I feel horrible over doing this and cant get it off my mind. But my question is , can we still get caught if we did it a few days ago. I'm pretty sure no camera saw me since we were in a blind spot and could not see any cameras , but you never know. I'm positive no one saw us either . My friend got really lucky too , cause on the way out the buzzer for the tag went off , but the employee waved us off since i purchased something. So, what are the odds of us getting caught? I have learned my lesson and i will never steal again, the guilt itself is too much to bear.
