My question is currently I got caught for shoplifting in woolworth but the security didn’t ask for my ID or to sign any paperwork. He just asked for my age told me not to come back within a year or else he will track my footage and call the police. The product is worth $17. I’m just 15 and I’m so regret for my behaviour and I promise I won’t do it again. However, the case is I left the product in my bag but when I scan the products on my hand I forgot to take it out and scan it as I was talking to my friends so I got caught for shoplifting. I was trying to explain but he didn’t believe me. One more thing, he didn’t charge me any fine and if he decides to take it further will my guardian be in trouble or my record or visa? I know that I was totally wrong in this case because I shouldn’t have left the product in my bag. I’m feeling so regret and remorseful.
