If you were caught and charged and you are paying restitution through the court you can and should ignore the letter from Wal-Mart. If you were caught before leaving the store and loss-prevention was able to get back anything they claimed you were trying to steal (which likely means there is no court-ordered restitution) then you can and should ignore the letter from Wal-Mart.
