    Let's put it this way.

    Even if the OP is pure as the driven snow, is telling the exact truth and is the one in how many hundreds who really did honestly forget, the court hears that excuse so many times a day that they're not going to believe her anyway.

    Yep. And LP knows when it's likely an honest mistake. Just a couple weeks ago, I had one where I was running to the front of the store to go stop this guy exiting into the mall. I was going to just stop him and say "I know you didn't mean to, but you know the stuff you're taking into the mall is not paid for." I didn't end up having to do it; as I got to the door he turned around himself and made that "what am I doing" gesture and brought the stuff back in.

    Intent or lack of intent is usually pretty obvious and easy to see.
