you can be charged with a crime. the 'taking' of the item from the store is the crime. the return of the item is not relevant as to whether the crime was committed. ed dimon, esq.

I'm not a criminal lawyer, but it still sounds like theft. Even though you returned the items, you first took them without permission, returning them only mitigates the damages you caused.
