    Post Caught Shoplifting at Target in Illinois

    yesterday i got caught shoplifting. 4 items of a total of 66.94. i concealed it in my bag and like any other person, i check for cameras or associates/customers that were around. i also ended up buying a video game because i came in there to get it. i didn't intentionally come in there to shoplift but i did anyways. right before i could exit, i was stop by a large Caucasian female and a black male. i think they were the store security not exactly sure but they were in uniform. i was grabbed by my arm and led me to their back room. i was told to have a seat. they closed the door. the large woman told me to put all unpaid merchandise on the ground. so i did. Another male was in the room and he was on the computer. asked for my ID. took down my drivers License. Ask for a number. stupid me gave him my house phone instead of my cell phone. Told me that i could receive a letter in the mall for a fine up to 1000.00 dollars. While he wast typing up my info, that large woman took a photo of me. then they told me to sign this paper. it had my info on it. the amt taken. and it was some kind of agreement. couldn't exactly recall everything on because While i was trying to look over it, that man was rude telling me that i have to sign it and leave and wasn't allowed onto this target store again. So i signed it. and left.

    what are my consequences? is this going on my record? should i have given my house number? do they call it in the first place? and would i have to make a court appearance. also, how long should i expect a letter? this is my first offense and i'm 19. what's my next step? i'm too ashamed to tell my parents and i currently am working 2 jobs, will this affect my current employer?

    i think it was an LP because the patch on the side of her shirt sleeve didn't seem recognizeable.

    i wasn't issued a court date or anything. they didn't even mentioned it. just that i could recieve a fine in the mail up to 1000.00. not much of talkers.

    Sounds as though they did not file charges with Police so pay the Civil Demand and your done.
