Re: shoplifting
Yes it is. That doesn't mean it won't become a criminal charge either. Stores rely on a civil law which allows them to recoup the cost of recovery in a civil matter if not voluntarily paid. This is separate from a criminal charge. Visit www.kliszlaw.com to discuss in detail. Tim Klisz
