    Default First Offense Shoplifting in California

    I won't bore you with the details. Went to the fitting room, handed my bag and purse to my "friend" who then placed items in my bag before bailing.

    Here is what you should know,
    -The store called police, however they never showed, so there was no arrest, and was told by the manager I was luck.
    -Banned from the store
    -The Civil Demand is being mailed.
    -Stolen amount was $108 or so
    -I plan to pay my civil demand

    Questions
    (1)Because I reside in California, what range monetary expense (civil restitution) am I facing? or Where could I get an idea of the amount the civil demand will be seeking? max? min?

    (2)Will there be a criminal or credit record?

    (3)Is it automatically a misdeamener?

    (4)Could the store forward my information to police, after I left? Can and/or they press criminal charges?

    (5)Other than for serving me with a civil demand and banning me from their stores and store associates will they set a court date or have me do community service?

    Questions
    (1)Because I reside in California, what range monetary expense (civil restitution) am I facing? or Where could I get an idea of the amount the civil demand will be seeking? max? min?My guess is between $250 and $400.00

    (2)Will there be a criminal or credit record?If criminal charges are filed then yes on criminal record. Civil Demand (to my knowledge) appears on credit report if you fail to pay but I could be wrong

    (3)Is it automatically a misdeamener?The degree is base don many factors but based on your if its misdemeanor

    (4)Could the store forward my information to police, after I left? Can and/or they press criminal charges?Yes and in fact if they have a 100% prosecution poliicy thats exactly what they will do

    (5)Other than for serving me with a civil demand and banning me from their stores and store associates will they set a court date or have me do community
