the cops werent called....
Apr 23 2010, 8:49 PM EDT
last night i stole a bottle of wine and left the store with it. i got about 300 metres down the road when the shop assistant came up behind me and said let me look inside your jacket you have some wine. i showed him it and he said come back to the shop or im phoning the cops. i said how can you prove i got it from u? it has no price tag. he said, i have you on camera and some1 saw you (the second was impossible) anyway i gave him the wine and walkd with him back to the store. he ordered me to fill in a form and said that he wouldnt call the police if i agreed to giving the store $300 within 21 days. the form was "notice of civil recovery" i filled in my name, phone and address and passport number but nothing else. i didnt put my signature anywhere. he said if i didnt pay the money in 21 days the police would be notified. but if i dont pay it can the police really do anything? they werent called to the scene of the crime and i gave the item i stole back and he put it back on the shelf...

If it is on camera its going to be hard to deny it. Many shops TRY to get civil recovery fees as well as calling in the police and laying criminal charges. YouthLaw does not believe shops have a legal right to this fee. Give us a call as if you decide to pay the fee in exchange for no police involvement you want to be sure they won't call in the cops anyway. One of our lawyers can give you some advice
