I remember shopping with my mother, I must have been 9 or 10. I separated from her and passed by candies you buy by the pound. I took one and a salesperson told me I was stealing (yes I took a hard candy but it wasn't like I stole the hope diamond)! Well she found my mother and lectured her, I never did it again. Another time I put money in one of the gum ball type machines and got a toy that came in like an egg. I put it in my pocket. A salesperson asked me what I had in my pocket and to show her. This is illegal as you must wait for someone to leave a store (they can always say I was going to pay for it). If my father had been with me he would have sued them for falsely accusing me!

Kinda like someone who steals your car who later decides to return the car to you. He/she is nervous so!  No crime, no foul?  Not in my view or the law.
