I accidentally shoplifters at coles I put the stuff in my bag as I was walking around then just completely forgot about it and walked out where I was stopped by security. They informed me they would not be involving the police and I just signed a form that I was too scared to read properly. I know they didn't call the police but I did give my real address since I was too scared not to cooperate. Am I going to be ok? I'm studying teaching so I'm terrified.

Hi, just wondering if you heard back from anyone or the police after the incident ???

If there were no police involved, then you have nothing to worry about.
