Heyyy. I know it’s wrong, will never do it again. But I shoplifted 2 items worth $20 from chemist warehouse a few weeks back. Didn’t get caught or anything. However yesterday I went to there again (no intentions of shoplifting again cause I felt super guilty about it from the last time), as I was walking out I got stopped my the security guard and he showed me a photo of me shoplifting from last time, and asked if that was me, I was wearing a mask and got really scared so I said no and he let me go.

I will for sure never go to the store again. But I wanna know what his gonna do with my photo, will it be forever ? Has he already shared it with other people, stores, police, or anybody??

Pleas help what to do. This is my first and last time shoplifting. Never doing it again ever.

Forget it. It's over.
This time.

Talk to your doctor for a referral to the specialist about the stealing.
