You'd be surprised. The reason they didn't get police involved is most likely because they can fine them an extortionate fee this way. The fee is unlikely to be lawful, but the constant threat of a criminal record will most likely force the guy to pay it, even if it is £200+

And? Stealing is never justified.

Dude, eye drops? If you're going to steal something, at least make it something cool, like an F1 car, or the Mona Lisa.

That's exactly what you'd say if you were planning such a crime

I stole some eye drops from Boots and got caught after I had left the shop. I've got a lifetime ban from that branch but got off without the police getting called. I'm gonna get a letter from Retail Loss Prevention with a bill to pay, does anyone know around how much it will be, ball park figures?

It's £70, I think. I know an idiot who stole mascara from Superdrug and I think the fine was £70/£75.

Another victory for justice!

You must be really cheap to not want to pay for eyedrops.

Well, your damn lucky that the police weren't called for a start...

If I were you I would be bloody grateful you got out of it so easily, and didn't get a criminal record.

They should make you walk around somewhere crowded with a sign that says I'm a thief.

EDIT: Wow, a lot of shoplifters on TSR it seems, judging from all the neg.

Erm ....
