My question involves criminal law for the state of: Pennsylvania
So my girlfriend and I decided to go to the big super store ( you know which one) and we decided to try out our luck at sneaking a few items through the self checkout line. It was two decent sized items adding up to about $100 in value. We got through the self checkout line by scanning a different sticker for a lower price and then paying that lower price. As we went to leave the store the shoplifting alarm went off. My girlfriend and I both instantly stopped in our places and ran to our car. We left the shopping cart with the merchandise at the door so we technically did not steal anything. My girlfriend accidentally left her cellphone in the cart and the store now has it. Can we get in any trouble from this? We don't really want the phone back. We accept that as punishment for our actions. We just want to know if there is any legal backlash we should be expecting for this mistake? We learned our lesson, it was the first time we ever tried this and we never are going to do it again. Thanks.
