    Default Shoplifting In Anaheim But Live In Vegas

    Alright. I am 18 year old male, live in las vegas but go to college in orange, ca. (chapman university). Walked into frys to pick up an edition of everquest known as everquest anniversary. while looking at it i realised all i needed was the stupid little 11 digit code inside the case and not all the cds. I attempted to open 4 cases. got 4 cd codes and then tried to take a $40 psp game. Total comes to around $120.

    Facts:
    18 years old
    no record
    $120 in merchandise
    Cooperative
    Was given a ticket for misdemeanor /petty theft and it said court date of june 22nd. I havnt received anything in the mail yet. This happened about 2-3 weeks ago. I try to call the justice center but get some weird like internet ring tone. I need to ask if i can schedule my court date for a later date so when i move back to california i can talk with attorneys there and figure stuff out instead of having to do it in 22 days or so. Questions now:

    1. What am i looking at. Reading these boards it seems i am in the same boat with most everyone else so i am expecting:
    - Fine
    - Civil fine thing
    - Community service
    - Probation
    should i be expecting more than that

    2. Havn't told my parents yet but i am going to tell my dad today. I am guilty and will plead it since it was on tape and they found all the stuff. Should i still try for a lawyer. I am going to try and talk my way down to disturbing the peace or if there is a diversion program but not sure how much a lawyer will help. going to get advice from my father hopefully.

    I am sorry for it and regret it but i did it and its over with. the end now i have to deal with it. Just another obstacle in my life. Any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated. thankyou

    What ever you decide to do, don't ignore the court date...if you do you'll get to see O.C. Jail up close and personal.

    Ok so i just got my court date and on my ticket it said petty theft but under my court info online it says burglary as well. Does that just come with it or what? I have a ticket that says petty theft, not burglary as well

    You should wait till you go to court (with an attorney) to see what the charge is. If you were given your Miranda Rights, then said something to the effect like, "I came in here with the intention of stealing"......you're looking at Commercial Burglary a Felony. Then you ARE screwed.......

    The "Frys" fine is not realated to any court fines. Its Called "Civil Demand" its civil and your court case is criminal. Hire an Attorney the buglary charge may have came up after more evidence was found or your statements were made.
