    Default Shoplifting Toothpaste from Lucky

    Yes, I'm aware it was stupid. $4 for toothpaste, but I shoplifted. Okay, so I was caught (obviously) and the police were not called. They said I would "probably" recieve a civil demand letter, and that I could pay up to $500 (I live in California), but from what I am reading here, it could be more like $1200. What is the likely amount?

    Also, two more selfish questions. When about should I recieve the letter and what will it look like? And also, will it be over after that?

    Thanks.

    About $150.00 would be my guess.

    The letter is from like a bill collector. It can be a little amount or as high as your state allows. The $150 is a good guess. You just pay it when you can, or call the number on the letter to make arrangements. If you don't pay it, they can sue you like a credit card company can.

    In some states Civil Demands are only given if the item stolen is over a specified amount. With you case only being $4.00, you might not even get one, and the security people thought wrong.
    If you don't get one with-in 6 months, this would be the case.
