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 read your post about having cancer and only 5 mos. to live and so you shoplift any chance you get and have mp3 player, cd players, etc. I'm sorry about the cancer and the short time left on this planet/realm, and that you don't believe in god, therefore no heaven or HELL...But i was just wondering, and i'm not preaching or judging nor am i a religious zealot, but what if you're wrong? Do you really want to take the chance? Because NONE of us REALLY knows for sure what happens when we die, but why take the chance of there being a hell and VERY real and also a heaven to spend eternity....hmmmm
