great advice.
a friend of mine walked into an albertson's when he was 17 and filled a backpack with JD. he was watched the entire time by an undercover. as he was leaving they tried to stop him but he didnt, so they tackled him which also broke the bottles in the backpack. they took him into the back room where he got to have a nice little chat with security, but he is an arrogant fucker and ended up mouthing off to them. they would have just called his dad and let him off, but i guess they didn't like his attitude at all so they called the cops, who filed a full report and my friend got fucked with probation. from my understanding, giving authority the respect they deserve is going to help you a lot more than anything else you could do for yourself when caught.. besides running of course.
