    Default Re: Accused of Shoplifiting in a Letter from a Retailer, but I Didn't Take Anything

    To address Zingbug's question in full:

    - The stores need to install cameras and video recorders.
    - The stores needs to hire Loss Prevention staff and pay for wages and benefits, along with insurance in case they are hurt on the job.
    - If the case goes to trial (many times in the US, a plea deal or diversion program is offered, and a trial avoided....) then the LP has to appear in court to testify.
    - When a person is detained, often the Store Manager-in-Charge has to take time away from their work to sign paperwork.
    - And of course, theft costs billions per year, not everyone is busted, so of course...the costs associated with the losses get passed onto shoplifters and consumers.
    - And during the theft, the merchandise is unsaleable to people who may have bought it, so that is a loss to the store as well.
    - If merchandise is not recovered in saleable condition, then the Civil Demand can be increased to reflect the amount of the damaged items.

    Hi everyone,

    Thank you for your responses. I have managed to get in touch with the VP of Safeway and it seems that my ID had been stolen. I had lost my wallet about a year ago containing my ID and had never gotten it back. The description of the situation was that someone, on November 15th around 9:30 am had been arrested at a Safeway store in Vancouver, specifically the King Edward location which is one that i've never even been to, as I only shop at the stores in Burnaby where I live. I was also at home the day it happened. Apparently they stole energy drinks, were caught and gave them my ID claiming that they were me. Supposedly the lady they caught had an appearance that was close enough to pass for mine. I'm still waiting to hear back today as I was talking to him via email to see what he says about my response. I will be filing both police and credit reports, as well as calling the Safeway that the incident happened at. Hopefully this will all be resolved soon enough.
