they cant arrest you if you pay for the items you steal
please don’t take legal advice from people on tumblr
even if this is true in your state/jurisdiction it may not be accurate based on law in other areas
Is this real life.
I think what they meant is once you’re caught, then pay for the items.
Which isn’t what OP meant. OP meant you pay for the stuff instead of stealing it.
