I might quibble with you a bit. A crime, such as shoplifting, requires a certain mens rea- a guilty mind. That is at the time one committed the action constituting a crime. So, if there is no "guilty mind" at the time, one does not aquire a guilty mind an hour after the fact.

If it were THEIR mistake- maybe they didn't add it up, maybe the price was entered incorrectly, whatever, I am not going back. That isn't any sort of criminal act on my part, but, it is probably negligence on their part! When one does an act consituting negligence, they pay the price.

When a store starts calling ME to say, "Oh, we charged you wrong, didn't you notice? Come get your refund"...I will begin the same practice. Until then? I remain convinced it all evens out in the end.

While I applaud those of you driving twenty minutes out of your way, to return or pay for a $4.00 item, that was not your responsibility, I see a much greater pull on the economy that way. Gas? Pollution? Wear and tear on your car? The 'man' hour expenditure of the customer service rep receiving the cash, and then explaining it....I could prolly go on, but, you might see my point. he he he...

I sleep very well at night, thank you.
