I was caught shoplifting $134 worth of groceries. I was taken into the store's office, waited for the police. Everyone was very friendly. We had a chat and then the police helped me to load my paid for goods into my car. I haven't been interviewed or signed anything yet but one officer said he would review the footage and contact me.
It was completely unintentional as I had a tantruming toddler and forgot to pay for items. I take full responsibility as even though unintentional, it is still stealing.
I'm terrified. I have never done anything wrong in my life! The worst thing I have ever done is a speeding fine.
What happens now? Will I have to go to court? Will I be fined? Jail? Will I have a criminal record?
