I would't worry about it at this point. If they do look at yesterdays recorded footage and spot you and then see you pay with a debit card or credit card, they would then have your name and address. But I don't think they look at old footage unless something had happened.
The State has 1 year to file charges as the statute of limitations runs out one year from the date of the offence.
I would knock-off the stealing now, because in New Jersey, you can be charged as a "Disorderly Person" or a "Crime".
For instance, shoplifting items with a value of over $75,000 is considered a 2nd degree crime, and is punishable by a fine of up to $150,000 and five to 10 years in prison.
Although that amount may not apply to you, the following will.
Taking items with a value greater than $500 but less than $75,000 is considered a 3rd degree crime. This carries is a punishment of imprisonment of 3 to 5 years and a fine of up to $15,000.
Shoplifting items valued at more than $200 but less than $500 is considered a 4th degree crime, punishable by up to 18 months in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
If you take something with a value under $200 it would be a disorderly person offence and you face no more than 180 days in jail and or community service, a fine up to $1000, a $150 shoplifting surcharge and court costs. The store also has a right to re-compensation, you will pay for the legal fees of the store and the value of the merchandise taken if the merchandise were not recovered in the original condition.
Also, if you are stopped and detained by loss prevention and decide to make a run for it, you could be charged with "Robbery" if anyone from the store gets hurt. How can one get hurt? If someone is holding your arm and you decide to bolt for it, you may just hurt that persons hand or arm. If that person runs after you and trips and falls, that's all it would take for you to go to prison for robbery.
FYI, removing a shopping cart from the store property is considered shoplifting in NJ.
