My question involves criminal law for the state of: Ohio
So, I'm 15, my best friend is 16, and I'm moving to Florida in about 3 weeks. As a "last hurrah" of sorts, we thought it would be fun to go shoplifting just to do something crazy. Personally I'm a seasoned shoplifter and have probably stolen over $900- $1200 in merchandise over time, but of course not all at once. My friend, to be frank is anything but smooth. Thankfully she is riddled with anxiety and is too afraid to grab anything more than a lipstick. Today we went to Sephora and ULTA to swipe some makeup. Nothing huge, maybe the biggest item costing about $30- $40. To give you some background, neither of us have ever been charged with anything. I will add that we were both welldressed and appeared to be in our late teens/early twenties. I went in with a really high end Michael Kors bag (because who buys Michael Kors and has to shoplift?)
Now, I will tell you right now that Sephora is beyond easy. I'm not worried about them at all. However, ULTA was much more vigilant and the aisles are wider and lower, making it much harder to conceal yourself. The women there were very friendly and i actually had a pleasant conversation with one of the employees. I thought she could have been a little bit suspicious but in all honesty I think I was just being paranoid. Plus, i knew a girl who actually got stopped at ULTA once for shoplifting and actually peed her pants when they called security.
So, i wasnt caught, stopped, no questions were asked whatsoever. Despite this, my friend and all of her anxiety is digging at her and she's having panic attacks left and right about the police showing up to her house.
My question here is, how likely is it that the employees would check the tapes even if i wasnt stopped or even really suspected of, plus the fact that my friend bought 3 items without taking anything? And if they did check the tapes, how easy would it be to identify me from security footage alone considering I'm a minor with no criminal record. (I'm not sure if this matters, but i will add that when the photo was taken for my temps, half of my head was shaved and my hair was long and light brown. Now my hair is chopped very short and black.) I'm In addition to these two questions, if the policpolice WERE to identify me, would ULTA/police department really care enough to track me down after moving to Florida?
