My question involves criminal law for the state of: CA
My boyfriend, lacking any good judgment and being really idiotic, decided to shoplift at Metropark (high middle tier clothing store) with my backpack. Apparently he was able to get out but left my bag in the store with all my belongings and ID. Not exactly sure what happened... but my bag is in the store.
I was wondering what I should do? I am really confused. I do not want to turn in my boyfriend in but I also want my bag and belongings back. Will they contact me? Can I just go in and demand my bag back without revealing his identity?
Please help. Thank you in advance.
added details:
apprently the item he was stealing was in the bag and cost around $180.
Not sure if that detail is needed.
Please let me know if there is other info you need.
Thanks again.
