    Default Caught Shoplifting, No Police Called - Can I Still Be Charged With Theft?

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: California

    Unfortunately I made the decision to shoplift. I honestly don't know why I did it and would never want to have to go through the experience again.
    I am posting because I have a few questions. The manager at the store decided not to call the police. She filled out a loss prevention form the store then I had to sign paperwork about not returning for three years or I would be trespassing and then I was given a notice about recieving a civil demand.
    I am quite prepared to pay the civil demand, but I was wondering if police could still be involved. Is it possible that the manager could have called the police after the fact? How would I know if am charged with anything?

    The store has until the statute of limitations runs out to file charges. That isnt likely going to happen especially if you pay the few hundred of Civil Demand. Consider yourself lucky and learn your lesson, which it sounds like you did.

    Thank you for your reply. As much as I never want to experience getting caught , I still feel like I may be at risk to do it again. Do you know any good programs for shoplifting addiction? Thank you for your help!
