    Unhappy I Shoplifted at Kohls

    hi, I'm 17 years old and I was caught shoplifting with a friend at kohls. She's 18. We both took things but she didn't get caught because as we were in the store she gave me the bag to hold, and when we got caught I had the bag not her. We did not get caught by camera, we got caught because we left the tags in the back pocket of some pants in the fitting room and we were the last ones out of there I suppose. As we were leaving a lady called us back in. it was about 194 dollars worth of things. the man told me I MAY receive a fine in the mail, but I'm confused. He said it could be anywhere from 3-5 times the amount I took. I know what I did was wrong and I so much wish I can go back in time and take it back. it was the first time I ever do such a thing and I promise it is my last. I was influenced and gave in to peer pressure and now I'm the one being charged with everything and not my "friend". Is it for sure that I will be getting the notice in the mail? and what's going to happen to me after this. Will this go on my permanent record? please help me. I feel so guity. All I do is cry and I know I deserve to feel like this because what I did was wrong. Since I'm underage they called my mom and I feel like I let my mother down. Will these affect me looking for jobs in the future? and in a couple days I start college at a private school.. will this be affected? while we were there we filled out some papers and mine was charged $194.00 and my friend was charged $0 which I really think was unfair. I signed a paper pretty much pleading guilty and was banned from the store. How much and I'm going to get charged, if I get charged? and do I have to do anything else other than pay?
    I live in New Jersey

    I was in the same position as you about a month ago. I shoplifted at Kohls and got caught and am 17. But I was alone. The amount added up to be a little less than 80. I went through the same things you did. They told me that I MAY reseive a letter asking for money, which is called a civil demand. The LP officers should have given you a paper explaining it. After that incident, I received a letter 3 weeks after, with the charges being 200. So no worries! Just pay if off when you get the letter.


    And you can't work at retail stores anymore.

    It won't that's why your *friend* had you hold the bag. As a minor child your court record will be sealed when you become and adult.

    You won't be able to work in any retail stores. The charges can go up to 500 dollars. Just pay the civil demand when it comes.
