Ok, so I'm 15 n I stole a bra from the store like 2 weeks ago and my mom found out about it and she making me take it back tomorrow I was jw if anyone knows like what they'll do? By the way I live and the usa

My boyfriend is in loss prevention for a retail store.

Most of the time they'll give you a talking to and let you go. But they will make you feel humiliated about it. And make you never want to do it again.

Some of them will press charges. But most places won't because to be honest, other than your admission, they don't have proof that you stole it and have nothing to give to the cops for proof.

So you should be fine.

Doubtful... MAKE sure to look real scared and tell them that you learned your lesson. :D

Are u serious?

are u serious?


What state do you live in? How much was the bra? Depends on what your state considers a felony. It's very unlikely that they will press charges.

Minnesota, and I think around 20 dollars

Unless it's like a $250 bra, I think they'll let you go. But don't take my word for it.

Ok thanks

Your welcome. Good luck. Just be honest and MAKE SURE to tell them that you learned your lesson. Don't return it, pay for it.

What's your mom going to do if you refuse? I mean there's no proof you stole it, how did she find out?

Whats your mom going to do if you refuse? I mean theres no proof you stole it, how did she find out?


That's a good question..

She tricked me into telling her so now I'm just going to tell her I stole it from wal mart not Kohl's

If you tell her that, she'll try and make you return it to walmart and they'll know you didn't buy it from there. And then your mom will know you are lying (more). Like I said don't return it, pay for it. It will look much better to the people that have your fate in their hands.

So just walk in w/ a bra n pay for it or?

OOOOooor... you could just say you stole it from a friend and tell your friend the story and set that up, make it sound terrible and make your friend pretend to be all mad at you... I mean if you want to completely get out of it but you might feel guilty.
But I would really just go return it, I highly doubt they'll do anything to you, you're young and stuff most people will take sympathy and just give you a guilt trip about it.

Also if you want to make it even easier on yourself you could call ahead and talk to the manager and tell him what happened and check out what's going to happen. Just maybe use *67 or something to block your #

Yea, I think ill just pay for it

Yes, talk to the manager and offer to pay for it. They won't LET you return it if it's stolen. They'll TELL you to pay for it, or press some sort of charges. And that will be on your juvenile record until you are 18. Just offer to pay for it.

I would suggest, sitting your mom down and telling her that you are sorry, you learned your lesson and that YOU want to go back to the store and pay for it. She will be impressed that you are taking the intiative to correct your own mistakes and learn from them. ;)

Also if you want to make it even easier on yourself you could call ahead and talk to the manager and tell him what happened and check out whats gonna happen. Just maybe use *67 or somethin to block ur #


The manager won't be able to give you an answer on that. You would want to talk to the Loss Prevention Manager for that information.

Oh... didn't know that. Well call them! Lol

Oh... didnt know that. Well call them! lol

I honestly wouldn't suggest doing that.

Oh... didnt know that. Well call them! lol
Lol

They have at times made you return it and pay for it..

Unless it's like a $250 bra, I think they'll let you go. But don't take my word for it.

OK what if a friend stole a 200$ swimsuit and 100$ dress, and I stole nothing yet I'm banned from the mall. What should I do?
