    Default Will a Shoplifter Receive a Civil Demand Letter

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida

    If I paid for the items that I originally shoplifted, will I receive a civil demand letter? The manager and LP agent did not involve the police and they simply put me in their system and then said that if I did it again, the police will be involved. They were understanding and said that we all make mistakes and to not do it again. I am a minor.

    Sorry, the crystal ball is out for repairs. Guess you'll just have to wait and see.

    It is possible you or your parents will get a letter demanding $200 or three times the damages you caused them. In a chain store, the LP and manager usually have little discretion. If they made a report, the firm's "lawyers" will come scrounging for money.
