Im from the US, currently spending a year in Norway as a student. Got caught shoplifting a $12 toothbrush. They took the address of the school I go to, as well as my driver's license number. This was my first time being caught, and the police were not involved. The store was pretty far away from where I live, and it took about 3 months for me to get a letter saying I will have to pay 300 dollars. The letter was sent to a nearby police station, and my school got a call saying I had to pick up a document there. (Kind of embarrassing) At the station, a secretary translated the letter and said that it will take 2-3 months for the next letter, which will be the actual bill, to arrive, at which point I have the option to pay the fine in increments over time. I'm leaving Norway for the US in 3 months. What's the worst that could happen if I ignore the fine and just go home? The only information they have of mine is my driver's license number.
