The CA would be happy with her admitting to either a substituted dollar amount for the items that were not really purchased in Japan (the statement associated with her return of items without a receipt) or a substituted item listing. Any accountability or even pleading to an "attempt" charge concerning larceny would be acceptable. Please let me know what your client thinks of that plan.

It was her "false" statements that compelled the customer service worker to issue her returns on her items.
