    Default Shoplifting At Sears

    Hello I was recently caught shoplifting from Sears. What made it so bad I was employed their, the shirt i took was $18 dollars regular price. The night they caught me they said that they were doing random bag checks and that was when they caught me they took me in the office and began to question me there was about 5 people in there. The lady told me if it had been $2 more that I would have been in big trouble, and that I was lucky that they did not call the police. In my opinion they went about things the wrong way and they didn't contact my parents being that im 16. Recently I recieved a letter in the mail from a law office fining my mother $200.The office told my mother that it was cost of investigation. I was wondering after this is paid what will happen. It just seems really weird that they told me nothing of this and it kind of pop out of the blue. I am student body president and I have a 4.125 GPA I REALLY WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE WHAT WILL THIS DO FOR ME?

    Sears did not press criminal charges (feel lucky) what they did do was fine you Civilly. Its called Civil Demand and its State law! they did not have to call your parents as you were not being prosecuted. Fine went to your parents because you are a minor. Pay the fine and its over. The exception might be is if Sears puts your name in a retail database for shoplifters. This database (if your name was inputted) can be accessed by other retailers you may seek employment from.
