    Default Stealing from a Store, Not Confronted but Caught on Camera

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: shoplifting

    Hi, so I was drinking with my friends and they decided to go and steal food from the 7/11 nearby. I decided to go with and steal. Huge lack of judgement. Never done it before and never would again. Once inside I grabbed about 4 protein bars and put them in my back pocket. I went to the washroom and heard a beeping noise and thought my bars may have set off an alarm. I came out with the bars out of my pocket incase it looked like I was stealing. But then I still heard the noise and realized it wasn't from me and put them back in my pocket in full view of the camera.

    I then went and paid for a couple corndogs with my debit card and left. It was 3 days ago today and i'm wondering if i should go in and confess or pay for my items. The last thing I want is a criminal record because I am in university about to finish my engineering program. Do they check the camera's every month and could they look me up from the debit and get the cops to send me a letter summoning me to court?

    Any information on what I should do at this point would be helpful. Thanks a lot guy.

    You deserve to be caught. You deserve to get charged. You deserve to be punished. If you confess, you will be charged. If the last thing you wanted was a criminal record, you wouldn't have done this. No one here can tell if they check the cameras every month or if they would look you up from the credit card receipt. It is possible.

    Maybe you won't steal again but I have no doubt that you'll go drinking again and do something equally stupid, like drive your car after drinking and get a DUI or have a serious accident.
