This is one instance where Posh won't be able to say, "Charge it."

In fact, no charges will be filed against the Emmett family, the former employees of Victoria and David Beckham accused of swiping the couple's stuff and selling it on eBay.

Eric and June Emmett, along with son Gareth, were arrested in October after the Spice Girl's mother noticed some of her daughter's belongings up for auction by a seller called "Posh and Becks."

The items, including several of the soccer star's jerseys and shoes and the fashionista's dresses, were then realized to be missing from Beckhingham Palace.

"After consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service, no further action has been taken at this stage against the three people arrested in connection with an allegation of theft from the Sawbridgeworth home of David and Victoria Beckham," Hertfordshire police said in a statement.

Upon his arrest, Eric Emmett declared the allegations "fabricated nonsense."

No further details have been made public.
