Caught shoplifting

[gingerninja101]

Got caught shoplifting at boots a few days ago with a friend,

police weren’t called and we were both banned from the store.

 

I have shoplifted at that store a few times before and in that town centre,

I told the security guard it was my first time.

 

I have no clue why I have been shoplifting so much,

I was in a bad mental place and I regret it so much.

 

If the security guard looks at the footage as he writes his report (he rang my dad to check the address on the report) could I get in trouble for previous shoplifting?

 

Also how long should I wait before going back to a place I shoplifted from to shop (I’ll never steal again), 

 

I read online if it’s not reported in six months then it can’t be reported so should I wait six months?

Can you imagine how much time and effort not to mention money it would cost to search cctv for you nicking in the past when they don't even know that you have?

 

The security guard was putting the frighteners up you. I wouldn't worry about it but i'd probably stay away for a bit.

 

Stop nicking stuff!

I regret it so much and I definitely will never do it again or go to that shop for a while but I have stolen from the same shop in a different location so do you think they would contact other branches and see I’ve stolen from both

I doubt they will join the dots no.

If you have been banned indefinitely from that store then you keep out of it for at least a year. The fact that there is a 6 month limit for the reporting of the crime doesnt alter the ban and they amy well have you arrested fro aggravated trespass if you return.

Dont invite trouble

no-body is reporting a crime. Police are not interested.
