Shoplifting is a theft against a store and is accomplished without force. A robbery, however, is a crime against a person and often involves a weapon or physical force. Embezzlement is theft from an employer and does not involve force. Burglary is a theft that takes place when the victim is not present. What is the defense? The prosecution must prove how you came into possession of the property. In some cases, especially shoplifting, you may simply have forgotten to pay. Theft cases can also have potential civil damages — the victim decides to sue for the value of stolen property.
