Have you ever been convicted of shoplifting before? If the answer is no, the worst that probably could happen is that you would be cited under 18 Pa.C.S.A. Section 3929. Retail theft, if the amount stolen is less than $150.00 is graded as a summary offense if a first offense. You will likely be fined or given a short term of probation if found guilty/you plead guilty.
That being said, store security may have just let you go with a friendly warning. If that's the case, consider yourself lucky.
