    Default Caught Shoplifting, Released Without Charges or a Ban

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Virginia. I was caught shoplifting at Walmart. They took me back to their office. I cooperated and gave back merchandise totally maybe $12, was told that they were not going to call the cops. They filled out paperwork took my ID and SSN but that was it. They told me i would still be allowed back in the store and was not going to be banned. I was let go without having to sign anything and they said let it be a lesson learned it's not worth it with my future. Should I be worried? Will they do anything? It's first time and I knew better and quite disgusted with myself even with it being for my kid I think that is what disgusts me even more at myself. It scared me so much and I have learned my lesson not worth losing my kid ever or my life.

    It's possible that they will report it to the police but if they didn't call them right away it would seem unlikely.

    What you can expect is a letter from Walmart's "lawyers" demanding civil restitution to the tune of $350 or so.

    How long does it take normally before someone receives this letter or knows if anything is done?

    So the people involved told you that they weren't prosecuting you and you're here asking people who have no knowledge of the situation if you're going to be prosecuted?

    That gene pool isn't too deep, is it?
