Retail Fraud question???

Question

"What are the chances of getting caught a 9 days after it happened if it was something small that might have been on camera(stealing). If they seen it wouldn't something of already been done about it???"

This is a question I got in an myspace message I got from a friend. What is the answer?

My response was "Idk I guess if you were gonna get caught you would've been caught by now" Is that right?

I think she wants to know what are the chances of the store looking at the tapes and seeing her. She said it was like $2.60 for deli meat. She put the deli meat in another bag of meat and then went through self-checkout. But you can never tell with her but saying that it was that what do you think. She's been back into the store (with me O___o) and her dad is friends with the owner (which makes it more retarted)

Answer 1

Nobody checks the security videos unless there's a reason. You can imagine that it's not worth it to check hours of video for 2.60, even if someone found out that 2.60 worth of meat disappeared (unlikely).

And if they found out, checked the video and saw your friend doing it, they won't go to court for 2.60.

I wouldn't.

I would post her picture all over the place for others to see.

And it's not fraud, is theft.
