    I will give you a personal known example, two teens about 14 one go into the shoe store, one stands outside as a look out for mall security.

    Of course they both get caught ( don't know how mall security did that)
    But they end up in court, the one as look out had never been in trouble ever, the other had another theft charge. The lookout got 3 months in a boot camp and the other one got 6 months in detention.

    Yes over a 30 or 50 dollar pair of shoes. I was involved with that one and knew the boys that did the time.

    Every store has there own policy of handling shoplifters personaly where I worked we weren't allowed to prosocute principals to petty theft but it all comes down to the judge and da cause anything can be charged really by law true, that I agree with some judges and das are more strict then others. I had people that had there third strike in my by committing theft in my store very dangerous situations to play with

    Burglary is when you steal something from a building that is either closed or you're not welcome in (i.e. House, Business... ect)

    Theft is when you steal something from an open business or a place you're welcome in. (Friends house, Walmart... ect)

    Hello b:

    If you have a question, the answer to it, is hire a lawyer, and don't say anything.

    The $150 fine was the stores punishment on top of the $5.99. That has nothing to do with the washington's courts decisions on what will happen.
