Caught Shoplifting
from "Trauma Scenarios"
(Buy on Etsy)

You're in a Value City department store, and you walk around looking to see if they have any video games so you can steal them and sell them to GameStop for cash. You spot a location in an aisle that has a small selection of games, grab three, and walk to a clothing section. You lose your nerve to steal a little bit, then after working up some courage bend over and put the games in the front of your pants. You walk out of the store, and are promptly greeted by a muscular man who grabs you and asks you to come with him. You resist and he tackles you, and you tell him that you'll get a lawyer. He takes you into a room and says that he will make a civil demand that you pay a few hundred dollars or be arrested. You are released.
