    Default How Long After Shoplifting Will You Know if You Were Caught

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: California

    so one of my friends lets call him Joe stole roughly 300$ worth of stuff from the back of a Safeway around November he didn't think much of it until around the end of November he found a hidden surveillance camera nearby the back of the Safeway and Joe was expecting for cops to come to his house any day now. strangely joe didnt receive any notes from safeway and didn't have any cops come to his house. Joe has committed crimes in the area before so he is well known by the cops. if the cops saw footage of him robbing Safeway they would have come to his house by now. now its the end of January and Joe has yet to hear from anyone. is Joe of the hook? if Safeway found footage of someone robbing them would they wait for months intill comming to them?

    id like to hear all of you're opinions

    There is no way any of us can predict what will or won't happen.

    Joe will know that he is completely off the hook when/if the statute of limitations runs out.
