Re: minor child

Sears/KMart is not in the practice of "scamming". Was the stolen property recovered? If not, that is why they are suing - for the recovery of their property. Wonder how they figured that amount - regular price or sales price? If it's not for recovery of stolen property, what are they suing for - administration costs?
