Find answers to your legal question.





13...Target...shoplifting...help!!!?

I was at a Target store in Orland Park ILL. I live in Chicago, Illinois. I took 3 pairs of party earrings and i was asked to come to the back and empty my pockets. My Beloved grandmother, (who spoils me to death) was with me and she was completely pissed off. If looks could kill i swear i would be dead by now!! The representative asked for my Info )i.e name, age, weight,etc} and i gave it to him. HE also said i am not allowed in any Target store world wide and if i do come back i will be arrested for trespassing. They also gave me a $500 fine.

I am a A-B student, I dance, and am graduating this year from the eighth grade. Any advice on how i should handle this

P.S I am going to speak to my great aunts pastor soon. And any extra advice would be greatly appreciated, especially on paying this fine!

wow, i guess try saving your money up.
getting a job maybe?
like babysitting or something.
i think the fine and how you're not allowed in any target store is pretty extreme.

good luck, !

You shouldn't enter a target store. Most shoplifters if they get caught they get banned from the store until the court date. Then from there they have to pay a fine, and they are only banned for a limited amount of time (usualy) If your gardians think your punishment is unfair and would like to argue, they can set up a court hearing to try and get on better terms, you might not have to pay the fine if you argue you are mentaly unstable.


That's What She Said
Yeah, you should pay the fine. That's what you get for stealing. I wouldn't go back to that particular Target store, but any other one should be fine. It's not like there are employees there specifically to look out for people who have been caught shoplifting. Since you're in eighth grade, I'm assuming you're a minor so no one can arrest you. But yeah, I would definitely pay the fine, if you don't, it'll only get worse. Good luck!

Congratulations you just spent $500 on earrings you cant even have

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

Pay the fine.

If you're black then they probably won't cut you a break.

They're pretty racist, sorry.

You know you screwed up. You are lucky that they did not call the police and press charges, then it would be handled by the Juvenile justice folks and you would be labeled.
The are correct about not being able to enter a Target store, also the fine is less than what it would cost you if this had gone to court and you had pay restitution and community service.

You did not state who the fine is to be paid to. I will tell you it needs to be paid or they will turn it over and you will be arrested.

Yeah I would say elobrit has the right answer....... don't shoplift. If she spoils you to death why did you feel the need to steal?

Wait did u shoplift cause that is really bad and if not go to a cop station and tell them that u have no idea wat happened

How to handle it? Are you serious?

You screwed up big time.
You were brave enough to do this with your grand there...so you have obviously done it before.
Your grand is so angry she can't even speak. Don't blame her at all. I'd disown you.
If you had wanted those earrings that badly you could have bought them, or asked her to.

You have no choice but to work for the money for the fine. You haven't said so, but I'm guessing that you now have a criminal record because no store can levy a fine against you for shoplifting...the the courts can.

So you won't be able to go to Target again. Can't say I blame them. I wouldn't want you back, stealing again either.

For someone who is so smart, you have really, really, made some dumb moves.

Neither your grades nor your rich-kid club memberships dance or o/w will mitigate here. Forget pastor! Speak to criminal defense atty to find out whether you might challenge the charge and how soon you may apply for expungement.

Well hmmm maybe you could just tell the whole truth and not STEAL again.

Who cares about the Pastor do good because of what you feel not because of fear, it will come out stronger.

What you done was bad! You knew better and Target did right with the fine and banning you from there stores!


Space Freak
Well no offense that's what you get for stealing...


â–“â–’â–‘
DON'T STEAL.

That was an extremely bad decision. As far as paying the fine, get a job babysitting.

There's a LOT of unnescary info in this question. "I am a A-B student, I dance, and am graduating this year from the eighth grade" <-- why did we need to know this?

You don't graduate from eighth grade.

And they can't arrest you worldwide at target because there would be way too many ppl with similar information as you. So just come up with 500 bucks and then don't worry about it.

Well, stay out of target for a while, or go to a different target.

Well my advice would be not to steal anymore. You got off pretty easy with only a fine. Pay the fine and stay out of trouble.


KayK
get a job

at K-Mart lol


Chuckie O
Pay the fine, and go to K-Mart or Walmart instead.

And don't shoplift.

By the way, you got off easy, IMO.


I know what I know

It sounds like Target is not pressing charges. Were Police called were you given a court date? I know someone who works in this area contact me for that info

How about you don't try to steal anymore. And, now you can't go to Target. That's why you don't steal. And about your A's and B's, shoplifting looks really bad to colleges.


elobrit
uhh dont shoplift??!


Sweet Cherry [3.14]
You should accept the punishment, get a job so you can pay the fine, and learn your lesson.

Its your fault you shoplifted, so you need to deal with the consequences, and not expect to be let off easily
