A friend of mine received a package from the US through one of the major forwarders on the island. When he went to get the package, it was damaged and missing US$60 that was inside an envelope, inside the package. It was a rather large package, but the contents were under the $200 limit, so no customs fee other than the shipping.
My friend, mad that the package was damaged and money was missing, walked out the store without paying and said that if they find the money that is missing, they can get paid.
He received an email from them saying that it would be turned over to their legal department in five days if not paid.
What should he expect? Is this a criminal matter, or civil?
