    Default Shoplifting At K-mart In Illinois

    A week ago my girlfriend and her friend were caught shoplifting from K-mart, originally told they'd go free if they followed the LP guy to the back to talk. After he found out they took more than he first saw he said he was forced to call the police. They were taken in, fingerprinted, I got them out on $100 bond each with a courtdate coming up. Today my girlfriend got a letter from some law office saying they can settle it for $350 within 20 days.

    Would that be the best option for her, or should she go to court since it is her first time? Reading through some of the others on here it looks like first timers can get off without a fine and just probation.

    Would it go on her record both ways? Just if she pleads guilty? or neither?

    It was more than likely a letter for Civil Demand, if you don't know what that is look at some of the other posts. I've talked people back in but usually don't make promises I may not be able to keep. It sounds like your 'friends' got in deeper than the LP first thought.

    As PaulE states this is Civil Demand. It has nothing to do with court case. The state allows a retailer to sue you civilly (Civil Demand). If sh efails to pay she can be sued (in court) for even more plus court cost. This Civil Demand has nothing to do with any fines court issues as that is her "Criminal" case.
