    Default What Happens if You Shoplift and Are Caught but Walk Out

    My friend went to a walmart 20 some minutes away from his house and he went in got a item that was 70 some bucks and walked around toke it out of the package. And put it in his coat sleeve and started walking and a staff called someone on the radio and he lied and said he was looking for some battery and then called for someone for that help and she saw the item in his sleeve and toke it and lied again saying it was his. Then she said she was going to look down the isle and he toke off. She didn't asked for his name or his ID or anything and walked out the other exit and walked to his truck and left and didn't see no one outside looking for him.

    His question is that because she didn't asked for anything can he get a visit

    If the store concludes that you were stealing, they can prepare a nice dossier of their surveillance activity and their analysis of the facts for the police, and give it to the police with a video of what was picked up on their surveillance cameras. The police can then attempt to find and prosecute you for shoplifting.

    Walmart's "lawyers" can also issue a civil demand for the damages people like you cause them.
