Yes. If you are caught shoplifting, you can try and fight a charge by showing you never left the store in question. Sometimes you pick up an item from a store and then continue shopping. Maybe you wander into a different department, or even onto a different store floor. Sometimes in these cases, a security guard may stop you and accuse you of taking the item in your possession. But you can always assert that you did not leave the store’s premises and intended to checkout and pay for the item.
