    Default What can a store do after catching a shoplifter?

    I was stupid and caught shoplifting. The manager and security let me go after taking my ID and info and had me sign what I think was a civil fine form. I called the manager and he said that now it's up to security and 'corporate'
    What should I expect now? Can they still call the police? prosecute? I am freaking out.
    Thanks.

    Yes, when you get caught stealing the victim may choose to involve the police.
