The consequences differ from place to place, where I live, since I'm only 16, I got off with a "warning". A non-criminal charge was placed on my record, but it can only really be seen by the police and it's only in my province. It doesn't appear on most broad searches either. So it's not that bad, only thing is I had to stop. Can't get caught with that shit again, or then serious shit's going down.
Just moderate yourself, and do NOT, EVER, hit the same place more than once.

False, yes they can. If they catch you with the goods on you and have video or picture evidence to support their claim, you're fucked. Unless you manage to run and get away, but if they actually stop you, you're fucked.

I mean, it depends how much you stole, and how far away you live from the store. If you're more than a few blocks away, you should be fine. I would recommend not stepping foot in that store for a while though, just a tip.

You have NO right to dictate what is or isn't "something good to steal".

If he didn't call you out at all, he probably was just a normal customer. I used to work in Theft Prevention at my local K-Mart and that's how we went about it, wait until you try to leave, then move in.

if you get caught stealing in walmart or any other place by anyone other than an actual law enforcement officer do not comply, simply walk out of the store. if they attempt to grab you, or use any means of force you have the right to defend yourself, that can be striking back, running, etc.
i have experience believe don't do what they say just simply leave right then when you get caught and you're free.
