What is the name of your state? California
My son who is under 18 years of age and who unlawfully took a mechandise from the Electronic store. Besides the criminal prosecution that imposed by the local authority, the Electronic store also demands that we have to pay for a damage of the merchandise that is not recovered in marketable conditions. As I understood the story, that the merchandise that my son took at the time was already in the opened box and there is no damage whatsoever. The question I have is that, can the store impose the California Penal Code Section 490.5 and demand us to pay for a damage that is not actually a damage? What if we have to pay for it, will we be able to keep the mechandise that they claim that was not recovered in the market? Are these legal in California? Please advice. Thank you much for all the help.
