    Laws - View Law: SHOPLIFTING


    Shoplifting is more than just leaving a store with something you did not pay for. Shoplifting is also obtaining goods by charging the purchase price of an item to a fictitious person; paying less than the purchase price of the item by changing the labels in some way; moving the item to a different container; and hiding the item in some way from view. (A.R.S. § 13-1805).

    If you are a minor, your parents or legal guardian can be held responsible for any damages that you caused. (A.R.S. § 12-661). Shoplifting property with a value of more than $2,000 is a class 5 felony. Shoplifting with a value of less than $250.00 is a class 1 misdemeanor.

    If you are found guilty of shoplifting, you could be fined, have to perform community service, or be placed on probation with up to one year in detention. (A.R.S. § 13-1805) If found guilty of shoplifting you might also be required to pay a penalty of $100.00 in addition to the actual damages to the owner (the price of what you took). (A.R.S. § 12-692)

    I have been caught shoplifting ....OMG ;( the scariest thing that has ever happened to me before.I would rather have not stolen than now having to face the effects of stealing and trust me its not fun.. Just because yo friends do it and dont get caught doen't mean you wont.Before you think about shoplifting think about what will happen to you if you are caught.....like havin a record .... effects could be ,just think of what yo parents face will look like , and how you are goin to tell the rest of yo family..and now you are grounded and cant be trusted ... Please just think first ......
