My friend and myself are customers of one store for over 2 years. We bought merchandize for over 10 thousand dollars. One day we put underwear in our bags (in plain view - mentioned in the report) and went to the bathroom to try it on ( we had 2 baskets of merchandize left by the bathroom, over $1000 in cash + credit cards). We knew it was against the store's policy, but thought it was not a big deal. The security stopped us, asked if we had anything in the bags; we told him we had underwear that we didn't want to try on front of other people . He detained us and called the police. He refused to call the manager or to pull our customer's history that shows that we always pay for everything - even the smallest items, $2.00 worth. Now we have to go to court. What do we say? No prior arrests.
