...should I smile for my mugshot??  

Recently I was shopping in thr food store. I put the tooth paste in my cart and had my other purchased items in the cart as well. I was getting in my cab and saw taht the toothpaste was in my cart. I put it in my bag and got in my cab and asked god to forgive my transgressions.

No, never. And I wish I never get to that type of situations. that is really one of my biggest fears when entering establishments especially high-end ones. If that happens unintentionally, it's really hard to prove it to anyone. it's easier to assume that something like that is deliberate than proving that it was not intended. I really warn myself whenever I get tinside establishments and I always make sure that me and the people I am with would never get to that situation. I think the fine for that act here is paying 10 times the value of the item involved.pretty pricey but i think it's much easier to just pay for it than explaining to people that you are innocent and you never meant to do it. lol

I tend to put things in the side of my wheelchair. I do this especially with books, as they fit in the space best. Once I left the store with the book still in my chair, luckily my mom caught me before I got home and the clerk was nice.

Hi, lanlan011. I am glad that you returned the purse! Great job! I would never say that I have not been through something like this. I am sure that I have. I just can't remember right now that's all. It is easy to steal things because sometimes the alarm will not even go off when something is taken from the store on purpose. You did the right thing, while a crook would have intentionally meant to keep the purse.
