It is a federal felony offense.  You should inform your local postmaster along with the police and let them handle it.

There is no mimimum age to carry a handgun in Arizona, but \n\n1.  The Federal minimum age is 18, and that applies throughout the country.\n2.  Arizona prohibits CONCEALED weapons to anyone under the age of 21.\n\nFor a great deal of information about Arizona weapons laws, see,\nhttp://www.lcav.org/states/arizona.asp  and\nhttp://www.cyclequest.com/Gun%20Laws-AZ.htm\n\nThese two web sites are on opposite sides of the political issue, but they both have useful information.  Good luck!!

There is no general answer.  It depends on the jurisdiction, and then it depends on the particular judge what to do at sentencing time.  Most states take into consideration now whether this is a first offense or repeat offender, the property taken and whether anyone was actually hurt in the theft and so forth.

A cyclist (and his bike) is, in effect, the same thing as a motor vehicle when looking at terms of vehicle law.\n\nThe driver of the vehicle can be charged with several counts:\n- driving without a license\n- driving without insurance\n- running a red light (or stop sign), which I guess is "failure to yield right of way"\n- probably over the speed limit (not too many traffic lights in areas where speed limit is 40 mph)\n- collision causing property (bike) damage\n- collision causing bodily injury (cyclist)\n\nYou don't actually mention it ... but with all this going against him, he's probably fled the scene, too ...\n\nIn my book, that would make the driver pretty much guaranteed to be prosecuted under criminal charges. Of course, in Arizona, there may be a limitation on what can be construed as criminal under the Motor Vehicle Act...

The laws vary from state to state.  I would check with your local district attorney's office as to your options.

Happening more and more! What's the amount an what was it for? If they bought something from you in person , in the area where you live,call the local police department, if it was a mail order sale, call the police department in their area, it's fraud.\nOver a certain amount (depends on the state, Utah is $250, Wisconsin $600) , it's also a felony. Good luck!

It depends where you live.  In smaller towns it is often printed in the local newspaper under a heading such as "Police Blotter".  In larger communities you often can request records at the local police department.  Most states offer online "Case Information" so you can put in the name and see if he or she has any cases past or present on them.  Here in Marciopa County, Arizona, you can even look up oustanding arrest warrants by an individual's name.

Shoplifting. If it looked easy (no security tags or easy to conceal) I would just take it. The biggest stores are the easiest. The trick is NOT to be sneaky. Ask for help, talk to the associates, be friendly. You will be the last person they will suspect. I mean I've gotten designer shirts, umbrellas ( I just walk out with them like they're mine), name-brand socks, costume jewelry...I stopped because of my conscious. It's kind of stressful too, you always have to wonder "what if?"

I remember seeing something on television about this once.  Most shoplifting is actually done by middle-age hispanic women.\n\nStrange, I know.\n\nhttp://news.ufl.edu/2005/08/10/shoplifters/

anytime you take something that isn't yours or take something that you didn't pay for well then thats stealing no matter what the unusual circumstances are.  just because someone else broke the glass and started the robbery, you are still a accomplice cause you jumped in and took part.  it's called an accessory .....charged with possession of stolen property or maybe recieving stolen property.  any way you look at it...it would be smarter for you not to get involved with things of this nature.  try making better choices,  your future depends on it.  GOOD LUCK!

Do you mean that the criminal will stand by while you look this up?    If you turn too quickly to tell them that it is stolen, they might SHOOT first.  \n\nInstead, take the name, address and phone number of anyone that you buy from.   Then go to the Police Department to verify each sale.   Many communities have a REWARD program, so just maybe you will get a $50 reward for your trouble. \n\nLaptops are the most stolen item in the USA today.

They do not, I think, have to give you their internal policy with respect to seeking enforcement of the law.\n\nIf they were going to make a civil claim against shoplifters for "security costs" that would be different. Department stores in Switzerland commonly have such notices ("shoplifters will be made to pay CHF 150 towards security costs"). Of course collecting the money from homeless people and gypsies might be less easy than posting a notice that they're going to claim it.\n\nI've seen descriptions of the Walmart policy change on the Internet. (I've only been to one Walmart in my life, in Canada, and hated it so much I've never gone back.) But I think an Internet search might get you some info and ideas.

They place them in special areas.  In Arizona, they are placed in Special Management Units of the state prison.  This is intended to protect them from other inmates who want to make a name for themselves by hurting a former cop.
