My question involves criminal law for the state of: Nevada
I've read over a dozen of the same thread regarding "retail fraud/shoplifting" and "switching tag and getting caught."
Here is my story:
I was at Saver's and I got a couple of items I wanted and couple of items that are priced cheaper. I went into the fitting room and changed the tags. The clothes I didn't want are put back on the "doesn't fit" rack and I personally put some back at the appropriate rack. When I went to the cashier, the girl scanned the 1st item without hesitation. Then she checks on the 2nd item and noticed a small tear on the tag (the hole was made bigger to easily switch the tag). Then she starts checking other item and notice all of them have small tears in them. She then said ,"these items have mismatched tags" (note: they're not mismatch, the only reason she knows it not is because its the tears). Then she said, "if you want to buy them, you have tomorrow because the people who tags the price are gone, so for now, I will only charge you for the 1st scanned item." So I paid the item with my debit card then walked out. (note: there were more items on the small basket cart but I left it on the aisle and she probably didn't notice until I left).
Okay, again from reading from other related posts, I know:
- They know I was stealing
- They know my information from my debit card.
- They know my information from my license plate.
- The girl will probably inform the LP and manager
I have a few questions I need answers to:
1) Will I get a civil of criminal form sent to me by mail?
2) Will they try to get the cops to come knocking at my door?
Disclaimer:
- The only item I bought costed me $2.69. The original price from the original tag would have cost $8.99
- I'm really scared! I never will do it ever again!
