what is wal mart phone number
got caught shoplifting… now what?

i was in wal mart today and got caught stealing cologne, markers, and a bra. it all added up to $77. I am a little confused because loss prevention told me that he wasnt going to call the cops but that i would be receiving a fine. i did not sign anything though. he just took down the info on my license and my social security number, not my phone number or signature anywhere and joked about how he thought the cologne was more expensive -.- he didnt say i couldnt be on property or anything. but my question is am i going to have to go to court ? because he said once i left the parking lot wal mart couldnt help me any longer. im 18 and i live in nevada and ive never gotten in trouble with the law before.. i just want to know what is happening next.

Nothing is going to happen next. He didn’t call the cops because the cops don’t have the time or manpower to mess with that stuff. More importantly- the cops just really don’t care! If he let you go- then that’s the end of it. Wal-Mart doesn’t have right or the power to fine you for anything. So, if you get something in the mail from them saying you owe them a fine (which I doubt you will) just ignore it. Security let you go- it’s over. He can’t call the cops once he let’s you leave. If he was going to do that- he would have had to do it while you were still there and in his custody. Don’t worry about it anymore. Oh, and don’t worry about what that other person said about police or government officials showing up at your door- that’s NOT going to happen, I promise!
