if I'm not mistaken, petty theft/misdemeanor retail theft (a.k.a. shoplifting) is a class "C" misdemeanor, in which case the "suspect" be fined as much as $1500; in this case it would provably be less than that because of the low value of the item. In more serious offences a 30 day jail sentence may also be given in addition to the fine. How tough the sentence is rests largely on how favorable the judge that tries the case is. If it's their first offence, the judge is most likely to grant probation.

Tell him to stop. And if he doesn't stop, tell someone important with authority: like your parent, or a teacher, or anybody who can slap him around. Unless he's like 3 years old and just doesn't know the difference. Then just tell him "NO"

You can only tell her that you think it's wrong and just stay away. The things that you say she's going to do are dangerous not just for herself but for you as well. Let her make her own mistakes and be there for her when she realizes it's a mistake. Just remember you can't change people and if she pushes you to join her in a shoplift or drug related activity you can get into just as much trouble as she could and that she's not being a true friend. You're a good person to worry about your friend the way you do unfortunatley she's going to have to figure this out for herself. You've already told her how you feel and that's all you can do.

Just call the police a couple times.  That'll do it!  The judge will give them the option of help or jail.

You cannot stop crime. No matter the consequences, people will exercise their free will. What can you do? Do not support anything gang affiliated i.e. slang, clothing, attitude. Make it unacceptable in your life. That doesn't mean your safe from it, but if you don't support it in any way then you help the problem. And if it means your life give them no respect. Buck the tiger.

Realistically, there's probably nothing you can do.  He's an adult and has chosen to become a thief.  If he doesn't see something wrong with that, nothing you can say will make him feel otherwise.

Report the person to the police.  Let them refer it.

try calling the cops and if they don't listen to you then call your field FBI office. but don't be ignorant and look the other way around. minding your business would be helping the person getting screwed be screwed. We all have an obligation for each other that's what societies were made for. Imagine if that happened to you and someone knew but did not do anything.

Your question relates to the "shopkeeper's rights," and one of those rights is to ask a patron to leave the premises.  This request is ususally followed up by a "no-trespass" order from the police that officially advises the individual that they are not wanted on the premises.  I assume that you know that you may not exclude someone based on any of the factor articulated in Title VII of the United States Code -- specifically:   race, color, religion, national origin, gender, disability.

File charges with your local police department for harassment and they should get the person to stop contacting you.
