    Default When Does Taking An Item Become Shoplifting

    Is it really shoplifting if you have something in your basket you didnt pay for but never walk out the store with it?

    With the very limited information you have posted and what State - I would have to say no.

    each state is different. In my state just by taking off the price ticket is shoplifting. If you place an item in a bag or a purse etc and show the intent of theft it is shoplifting. But each state is different, In my state if they took off the security sensor or ticket price and placed it in the cart then yes. But in your state i don't know. We need more info.
