I was caught shoplifting with a friend, what will happen now?

Question

I was at Kohls last week with my friend. I saw perfume i wanted and she told me she would steal it for me. Me and her have shoplifted before, so i thought it was no big deal. she stuffed it into her bag, and we proceded to walk out of the store.when we were outside a man who identified himself as kohls loss prevention took us to the back. he said it was no big deal, he asked whose idea it was and my friend said it was mine. the man said that because of this i would have to pay full. the perfume was $45 and the price would be multiplied by x3, or x5, but he said that since we were minors they might not even charge anything. my friend called her 21 year old cousin to pick us up. he asked for our names adress and phone number. i gave my real name but a fake address and number, while my friend provided all her real info. also her cousin provided the correct information aswell. they said they will send a letter in 4-6 weeks. i am scared now that they will give my name to the police.

we are both 15 years old

Answer 1

Congratulations. You are a thief. You may acquire a criminal record - many shops prosecute people, regardless of the value of the goods, to get the message out that it really is a big deal. This will blight your life for a while.

Answer 2

Well you are off to a great start.

You have been doing this all along and now you got busted. What is sad is that you thought it was no big deal.

In the real world, there is a penalty for this kind of inappropriate behavior and believe me they are most likely going to give you some grief.

Wake up!! This is not something to mess around with because this kind of thing is costly to Kohl's. And they have to pass the losses on to the consumers. You make it unfair to the honest people who want to just go buy something at a reasonable price, but can't because shoplifting makes that impossible.

Answer 3

your both going to hang next to Saddam....
