Answer It would be called "concealment", if you conceal an item in or on your possession where it can not be seen, you can be arrest. But this law of concealment, is NOT a law in all states, and even in states that do have it, some towns or cities may not file any charges with it, and even if they do, some "stores" may NOT allow an employee to file charges on "Concealment" alone.
Normally even where these type of charges can take place, something more then just the "concealment of an item" must happen, like if you removed the price tag, removed the item from its packaging, you removed the alarm tag, or you are a known shoplifter. This would help make the case better, in case you said something like "you were going to pay for it and you were just hiding the item from your kids".
In some stores, even if they can't file charges against you, they still might do what they did to you. They stopped you from stealing and made a sale on the item, especially if it was only for an item of low price, that they may not want to file charges for. They might tell you they "can have you arrested", even if they may not be able to in some areas.
Concealment is only a crime in some states not all.
In other places, shoplifting is just plain petty theft. Like any crime, you can be convicted of an attempt to do it, but it would be difficult to prove in any store where people are allowed to walk around and pick up merchandise. An attempted theft cannot be indistinguishable from innocently picking up goods with the intention to purchase them. An action like removing an item from its packaging might be evidence of attempting to steal the item. It is however very close to actually stealing it. The Criminal Code of Canada defines an attempt to commit a crime like this: "24. (1) Every one who, having an intent to commit an offence, does or omits to do anything for the purpose of carrying out the intention is guilty of an attempt to commit the offence whether or not it was possible under the circumstances to commit the offence."
