hello

First post i am sorry that it has to be that way.

I get caught shoplifting.

This is my first time i get caught but not my first time shoplifting.

The guy who caught me ask me if i steal one particular item yesterday and i said no,

my question is if they check and see that it was indeed me the one who stole the other good too,

what would happend to me?

Regarding to today's shoplifting, police come and only make me pay the goods.

Thank you for your time.

If they check CCTV and have clear evidence you stole before, they might involve the Police. It then depends on whether the store wishes to pursue a prosecution for this shoplifting offence.

If you are lucky, they won't find any evidence and you hear no more.

You might receive a letter for retail loss prevention which is simply a letter asking you to pay towards the stores security costs, due to your shoplifting. If you receive such a letter come back for more advice.

I am so scared

the guy told me that they will call to my university

i will get expelled

I will loose all my time in uni,

she said that my uni have a zero tolerancy police about stealing.

I am so sorry it is not going to happened again obviously.

thank you for your answer,

if they involve the Police what will happend?

again I am really scary.

The guy was making jokes about how funny it will be if they look to cctv and see that I was the one who stole

if you've paid for the goods

FORGET ABOUT IT> it done gone forgotten

its all silly threats made by powerless security guards.

to scare you.

they can do nothing of the sort concerning the UNI and your future.

but whatever you do now

you'll get scary RLP letters

IGNORE THEM.

I am worry about the day before good not from today's

don't be they wont bother looking.

who do you think this is Donald trump and comey ...I taped you you liar...

forget about it.

they said that they will check it because it will be funny,

them took the box into her office to check it

but police came and she needs to be there.

I also have a flight in one week that I cannot loose

you wont and it cant harm you.

the police have already been involved

they cant be re-involved

its all big man talk by a silly guard

dx

thank you for your response

what will happen if the police show up? with the current situation, would i need to pay anything else?

What happen if they try to contact me and they can't? I am going to leave the country as I said

They would ask you to attend the Police Station to try to resolve.

If at all possible they would try to avoid further action,

by trying to get the store to accept payment for the goods taken.

But the store might want to pursue it further.

If they can't contact you,

then i would think a letter would go to your address asking you to attend the Police Station a few weels later.

But you are asking hypothetical questions because of your worries.

You need to stop and just see what happens.

At a Police Station, if they are seeking to question you under caution, you can ask for a duty Solicitor.

dunno what part of the police have already been involved is not being understand here..

unless the item you stole the day before was worth £100's

they will not be remotely interested

forget about it.

that is what happen if they check the CCTV right? If I decide to come back to the UK and they cannot contact me, I don't want to see myself with a hyge debt

will i have criminal records them? they only ask me to pay the goods and anything else, i don't want to get stopped in the airport

no no no and no.

please put it out of your head

unless you stole items worth £100's nothing will ever happen.

gone dead forgotten.

what if it is more than 100?

is this a habit and there is lots more undetected shoplifting that you've been doing?

dx

more than 100£

really. at uni.

you wont loose much if you're leaving the country just now

I am just guessing, I am to scared right now. It is my first time and I don't know what to do. i think that if they caught me on the CCTV the police have already taken me or something. I don't want to have any trouble when I'll take my plane

be honest.

what is the situ with the police.

were you arrested, are you on police bail, or...?

I please ask you not to have fun on me. I am sorry if I am posting a lot today but I don't know what to do or where to go. I am an orphan and I don't have a lot of money.

I please ask you not to have fun on me. .

not 'having fun'.

it was a serious question of relevance. (see my revised post there)

first time of what getting caught but you've been shop lifting before

its an anon forum

so unless your username gives details away?

then yo've no worries..

spill the beans.

just to put things in perspective.

we've never heard of anyone being arrested off a plane for shop lifting..

you are seriously sadly taking some things

that certain posters here have said very too much seriously

and if I were to be honest

they should know better than to post stuff that can be seen as frightening for newbies that don't know better..

so ... is this the only time those 2 days

or is this a habit that could have all the instances eventually pieced together and you do have a serious issue.

the law is the law in the UK

shoplifting is A CRIMINAL MATTER

but only those empowered to prosecute you can do so

the rest of 'em are willy waving..........

am always wary of certain threads that cld poss be awol at first sight. as dont want anyone to waste their time on it.

however. my last q is of importance. as if not arrested, with any kind of bail, then it seems there wldn't be any issue in leaving the country. of course, it all depends on the full circs, partic re a criminal matter.

so do bear with my questions/posts before passing judgment, they are not without means.

I wasn't arrested and now I am at home. The police show up and make me pay the goods and that is all, I will leave in a week so I am scared if they come during that period of time.

As I said this I did it yesterday too but that's all. I honestly think that if they realise what happend yesterday they have already send the police to take me but I don't know how it's works. and I am just freaking out and i don't think i will be able to sleep

no they didn't send the police 'to take you'

you've not been or will you be charged, cautioned or arrested.

but you've gotta understand that shoplifting is not a game

and neither do the retail sector treat it as such...

good i'm glad you are freaking out

so you should be

you broke the law ...end of!

but you've not stolen the crown jewels nor murdered anyone

so arrestment is an extremely remote outcome now later or ever.

seriously stupid thing to do.

but it doesn't have any effect upon your liberty or freedom.

sleep tight...........
