I was caught shoplifting yesterday item worth $160, it was all food for my kids from coles. I explained to them that I was struggling this week and that I was not thinking right and I'm in tough place right now, she took a picture of my id and that is it, I didn't sign any documents and she said she might call the police. She was very calm and so was I. I did pay for the items I took, but apologies to the store manager aswell. I'm so embarrassed
Please help

If you paid for the items then there is no offence.
It's over.
