What happens if you get caught stealing at macy's and you are 16?
Well I hoped you learned your lesson never to steal again!! You will have to go to court WITH your parents, since your a minor. I would hire a good lawyer. Your lucky you weren't arrested. Anyway, if its your first offense. you will likely have to do community service. No you will not receive any jail time. Just don't do anything this stupid again. We all make mistakes, but what's important is whether or not we learn from them.

Have you ever been caught stealing?
I’m still a bit too ashamed to admit it, so I’ll go anonymous.I was 22, and I had plenty of money. But, since we grew up poor, I felt like I couldn’t pay for stuff. I also liked the thrill of stealing. So, I shoplifted almost daily. For the most part I took things I felt were overpriced, and I wouldn’t want to pay for it.Things I stole:socks and silk ties (small, easy to fold and put in your pockets). I must have had a rack with at least 30 silk ties at home.batteries (small and expensive).books. One time I came in with a suitcase, loaded it up with the books I wanted to read, and walked out again.I got careless. So, one time I was just putting stuff in my pockets without even thinking. As I approached the doors to exit, a large man looked me in the eye and made a hand gesture to wait. I didn’t. I ran outside, my pockets flinging from all the stolen stuff (batteries, and some other small stuff).He came after me, running. I was very fit at the time, and I could have easily outran him. However, my long coat and my heavy pockets kept me from gaining speed. I was thinking what to do: lose the stuff and outrun him, or let myself get caught.Then I thought: well, how bad can it be, I give the stuff back and go on my way, just tell him you’re sorry or something (I was naive). I let him catch me. He told me to empty my pockets. If I were a bit smarter about the law, I’d simply have refused it, and ask him why he was following me, accusing him. But I wasn’t. He called the police, and I got arrested for shoplifting.Once at the station, they asked me to empty my pockets. Out came $20 of stolen merchandise, and my wallet, showing about $400. I was shocked myself, and thought why didn’t I just pay for this stuff?Ultimately, I did learn my lesson: if it’s overpriced, don’t buy it. Find something cheaper. Oh yeah, and don’t steal.
Can I work for Walmart security if I have been caught stealing from Walmart in the past?
I was asked to answer, but you’d really have to address that question to the manager of the Wal-Mart in question. For the sake of sharing a few observations, I’d be extraordinarily surprised if the answer turned out to be “yes.”A retail theft conviction normally is a significant black mark on anyone’s employment record if the job involves any handling of merchandise or money. Technically, a security guard might not be directly involved in handling merchandise, but they would be responsible for intercepting other shoplifters and I don’t know that the management would want foxes guarding their henhouse.And don’t think they won’t check for convictions of this type of offence. Wal-Mart (and other retailers) regularly blacklist shoplifters, people who write bad checks, and others who are viewed as stealing from the company, whether or not the people were convicted, and they lobby for people who have been convicted of retail theft from Wal-Mart to be banned from Wal-Mart as part of the terms of their probation or parole.In some states, there might be a limitation on refusing to hire ex-offenders to “offences related to the employment,” but I am convinced this is sufficiently related to the employment that even if such a scheme existed in your state, Wal-Mart would still not be precluded from refusing to hire you. And if there is no such scheme, at-will employment would essentially insulate any hiring decision from oversight by the courts.Perhaps if the conviction were particularly remote (in excess of 10 years) or the conviction were obtained in a closed juvenile proceeding, you might have a chance.
My friend got caught stealing at Macy's, what are the consequences?
The criminal violation is a misdemeanor for petty theft (based on what you've described, it appears to be a strong case against your friends). Security may have been taken them to the Fairfield Police Dept. for the booking, fingerprinting & arresting process. More than likely, they were issued a citation, then released. It becomes a permanent record if convicted of the crime (may be expunged a few years later, as long as there are no further violations....something to deal with later down the road). Most likely, they go to court, plead out, pay a fine (and/or community service); restitution, they'll also be placed on summary probation. The judge may possibly impose restrictions stating that they're are not allowed into Macy's for a period of time. Summary Probation varies from 1-3 years. (Summ. Probation doesn't require your friend to report in to any official....it simply means that they don't violate this again and don't violate any restrictions imposed). They still have the right to an attorney or public defender.
My 17 year old son got caught shoplifting at Macys, arrested, and will go to juvenile court.?
whats going to happen? My son is going to a juvenile court soon. A lawer will be given to him. He stoled over $100 worth of stuff. Its his first time being involved with the cops. He got caught lying to the cops but thats because he was scared. He learned his lesson but he's going to have to go to court in two weeks. What's going to happen? He said he'll be willing to do community service or takes classes. He can not go to jail right? He's underage age and this is his first criminal record.
I got caught shoplifting in macy's. Help me!?
You may be required to pay for the merchandise in question and yes, likely banned from Macy's store. I had a friend that was in the same situation with Koals an that's what happened to her. For a first offence, you will probably have a fine and be banned from the stores. You may be able to have the charged dropped to "disorderly conduct". That's a slightly lesser charge and will not say specifically what the charge was for on your record.
When caught shoplifting at Macy's, what will happen if I dont pay Macy's back?
I assume that what you have gotten is a civil demand under Penal Code section 490.5. The information I have from many colleagues is that if you do not pay it, nothing happens. They may send one or two threatening letters, but the bottom line is all they can do if you don't pay is sue you civilly. They cannot collect more than $500, or their actual loss if they can prove that was more than $500, and it is not worth it to them to pay lawyers to do that. This is entirely independent of whether they report the incident to the police. If they were going to do so, they would already have done so, and they can still do so after you pay, if you pay. The cannot "press charges," if by that people mean file criminal charges against you themselves. All they can do is make a police report. ;
Should I give an employee a second chance after caught stealing petty cash?
My gut reaction says “no.” But this is really a root issue of future trust — in other words, the “Employee X did Bad Thing X” is much less important than “Employee X might do Other Bad Thing Y next week, next month, next year.”You have to determine, from the available circumstances and character-motivations, what the risk(s) might be going forward. In other words, was the employee truly remorseful after theft, was there some one-time desperation (drug habit, groceries for kids, rent overdue) which might not surface later, are other things (continued employment, friendship with coworkers/boss, integrity, reputation, good reference for next job) more important to the employee than skimming a few (hundred) dollars from the till, etc.I strongly suspect the answer is “No, no higher-priority or past-desperation will mitigate the future risk of employee theft, so there is a greater-than-1% chance of it recurring.” But only you can decide that for certain, using your own personal knowledge. It speaks well to your character that you are even considering clemency; I commend you for same.
