State: Connecticut
I was at Wal-Mart when I stole two mouse pads (yeah I know, what were you thinking?), I walked out of the store and sat down on a bench waiting for my friend to come out of the store, then came out this guy and he introduces himself to me, saying that he was part of the stores security and needed me to come into the store with him. He told me I was caught by the cameras and asked me to return what I took. I did and he asked me several questions about myself such as address, home phone number etc. I am only 15 so he told me to call my parents. When they got there he told them what had happened and photo copied my moms ID. He told me that he was not going to call the police but that we may be fined for the crime, up to $300. He gave me a speech about what could have happened if he pressed charges and then he said I was free to go. We went back home but now I'm worried about the fact that we may be fined. If I do receive a claim letter should I pay the fine? and If I do pay the fine is there a chance of me still being charged?
