    Default What Will Happen if a Store Shows Video of You Shoplifting to the Police

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: I am afraid that I stole beads from a small but expensive bead stores.
    I knew that there are cameras... so I tried to stole them hidingly.
    But still there are chances that I am recorded in camera.
    I m afraid what if after few days the owner or manager sees the video recording and show it to the police, as I left all my address and everything in the stores feedback register.
    Should I go back tomorrow to return the stuff before they see it and before they calm police?
    May be they forgive me.
    I am just afraid,
    Please answer me

    Default Re: I Am Afraid What if the Beads Store Owner Catches Me in Camera Recording After Fe

    You didn't name your state.

    Returning stolen items does NOT undo the crime you committed.
    You should be afraid.

    Here's what you do:

    STOP STEALING STUFF.
    Stay out of the stores in question.
    If the police call, decline to speak to them.
    If arrested or otherwise charged, get an attorney.
