[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 606067"] Hi JKF. I work in retail and basically a store has to choose between a) recovering merchandise or b) prosecuting shoplifters . Unfortunately a & b are at odds with each other. Shoplifting can be really hard to prosecute especially if local police are not interested. One of our stores is in a high income and sleepy town and the PD has told us not to bother calling them for shoplifters! So, I don't think it's odd that he wasn't arrested. And yes , having the person sign a confession if they are interrogated properly by store personnel- is typical and is enforceable by law depending on the state. It's a preferred practice; we've done it ourselves with inside theft and in one case we did have the person arrested & prosecuted successfully. Their own civil judgment is not enforceable unless the court orders it. That said, the it's an easy process to get a court ordered judgment (with the signed paper) and from there the fees skyrocket. He should pay it if he was involved. [/QUOTE]
